True theology is an actual determination and claiming of man by the acting God.

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

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

With an ear open to your musical dialectic, one can be young and become old, can work and rest, be content and sad: in short, one can live.

Man can certainly flee from God... but he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God, but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate.

Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone.

A free theologian works in communication with other theologians...He waits for them and asks them to wait for him. Our sadly lacking yet indispensable theological co-operation depends directly or indirectly on whether or not we are wiling to wait for one another, perhaps lamenting, yet smiling with tears in our eyes.
