A very brief blurb was included in the early Der Lutheraner that speaks to our modern times which seeks to know divine things by its own cleverness and great knowledge. From vol. 9 (March 15, 1853), p. 92:
To want to know divine things from philosophy is to attack the red-hot iron not with tongs but with fingers.
(Chrysostom.)
There are a lot of burnt fingers on the hands of today's theologians.
