A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

St. Paul's remark that faith comes by hearing would seem to have something to do with his resonance of the word, the word, the divine word, resonating in the human heart is a kind of interface which changes the human heart, and tunes in a totally new way and so, the idea of resonance rather than logical connectedness, or logical demonstration and a mere sequence of proofs one following in other rigorously, the idea of resonance as simultaneous and total and all involving, and demanding everything, but we have and in turn feeding us and feeding back to us everything we need.
