Theology is not a private subject for theologians only. Nor is it a private subject for professors. Fortunately, there have always been pastors who have understood more about theology than most professors. Nor is theology a private subject of study for pastors. Fortunately, there have repeatedly been congregation members, and often whole congregations, who have pursued theology energetically while their pastors were theological infants or barbarians. Theology is a matter for the Church.

The resurrection of Jesus was like a boulder crashing into the pool of history.

Grace must find expression in life, otherwise it is not grace.

Mozart's music is an invitation to the listener to venture just a little out of the sense of his own subjectivity.

No act of man can claim to be more than an attempt, not even science.

The best theology would need no advocates; it would prove itself.

Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are.
