The best theology is rather a divine life than a divine know

Summary

This quote suggests that living a life aligned with divine principles is more virtuous and valuable than merely possessing knowledge about theology.

I remember David Harewood doing 'Othello' at the National, and Adrian Lester having done Cheek by Jowl's famous 'As You Like It and Company' at the Donmar.
