We must hold the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other.

Faith is never identical with piety even if it were the purest and finest.

Exegesis, exegesis, and yet more exegesis!

We must read the Bible through the eyes of shipwrecked people for whom everything has gone overboard.

The relation of this God with this man; the relation of this man with this God--this is the only theme of the Bible and of philosophy.

There is no philosophy that is not to some extent also theology.

Thus in this oneness Jesus Christ is the Mediator, the Reconciler, between God and man. Thus He comes forward to MAN on behalf of GOD calling for and awakening faith, love and hope, and to GOD on behalf of MAN, representing man, making satisfaction and interceding. Thus He attests and guarantees to God's free GRACE and at the same time attests and guarantees to God man's free GRATITUDE.
