It has never at any time been possible to fit the resurrection of Jesus into any world view except a world view of which it is the basis.

It is less important to ask a Christian what he or she believes about the Bible than it is to inquire what he or she does with it.

Christ is the clue to all that is.

...our societies appear to be intent on immediate consumption rather than on investment for the future. We are piling up enormous debts and exploiting the natural environment in a manner which suggests that we have no real sense of any worthwhile future. Just as a society which believes in the future saves in the present in order to invest in the future, so a society without belief spends everything now and piles up debts for future generations to settle. "Spend now and someone else will pay later."

The Church, wherever it is, is not only Christ's witness to its own people and nation, but also the home-base for a mission to the ends of the earth.

The victory of the Church over the power which was embodied in the Roman imperial system was not won by seizing the levers of power: it was won when the victims knelt down in the Colosseum and prayed in the name of Jesus for the Emperor.

I am neither an optimist nor a pessimist. Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.
