My goal as a theologian is to move beyond the acquisition of knowledge to its application in real life: in a word, I want to get wisdom.

I'm interested in the history of ideas and how these ideas take on flesh and influence culture, and the church.

Pride does not listen. It knows.

Life is something to be done, and so is drama.

All biblical exegetes and theologians have a theory of language, whether they acknowledge it or not.

Christianity is neither a system of ideas nor of morality but a way, a way of life.

Being a systematic theologian allows me to indulge all my interests - in literature, film, art, music - by relating them all to God.
