One of the things I really respect about Doug Moo is that he is constantly grappling with the text. Where he hears the text saying something which is not what his tradition would have said, he will go with the text. I won't always agree with his exegesis, but there is a relentless scholarly honesty about him which I really tip my hat off to.

The point of justice and mercy anyway is not ‘they deserve it’ but ‘this is the way God’s world should be’, and we are called to do those things that truly anticipate the way God’s world WILL be.

Fortunately, Paul is much more interesting than most of his interpreters, myself included.

The cross is the surest, truest and deepest window on the very heart and character of the living and loving God.

We have to train ourselves to use words accurately. And there's so much loose Christian talk, for which I've no doubt been as guilty as any.

Our culture is so fixated on dying and going to heaven when the whole Scripture is about heaven coming to earth.

It's not great faith you need; it is faith in a great God.
