of a book to indicate the end.
Not implied merely, or conveyed by implication;
distinctly stated; plain in language; open to the understanding; clear;
not obscure or ambiguous; express; unequivocal; as, an explicit
declaration.
Having no disguised meaning or reservation; unreserved;
outspoken; -- applied to persons; as, he was earnest and explicit in
his statement.
Should a priest reject relativity because it contains no authoritative exposition on the doctrine of the Trinity? Once you realize that the Bible does not purport to be a textbook of science, the old controversy between religion and science vanishes . . . The doctrine of the Trinity is much more abstruse than anything in relativity or quantum mechanics; but, being necessary for salvation, the doctrine is stated in the Bible. If the theory of relativity had also been necessary for salvation, it would have been revealed to Saint Paul or to Moses.
