It is a wonderful piece! I'd just add that is essential to Christian doctrine that God can be experienced, that we can talk directly to God, but that doesn't reduce God to human reason or mean that belief in God is irrational or inconsistent. God is supra-rational, above human reason. That is not to say sub-rational, below human reason, like the passions or vices. St. Thomas Aquinas is necessary in addition to St. Anselm. If God is too transcendent then you get the early errors of docetism or apollinarinism.
