I have met many Roman Catholic theologians who will emphasize as much as any good Protestant preacher that everything comes from the love and grace of God.

I guess, as an Anglican, there's always room to move, which can be a dangerous thing, but also a very healthy thing, because bits of the great biblical tradition which you haven't fully plugged into before you've got the space to grow into... not least, the sacraments.

The kingdom that Jesus preached and lived was all about a glorious, uproarious, absurd generosity.

To get overprotective about particular readings of the Bible is always in danger of idolatry.

At the heart of Christian ethic is humility; at the heart of its parodies, pride. Different roads with different destinations, and the destinations color the character of those who travel by them.

If you believe in the Bible, you've got to do business with it and not just screen it out.

People often get upset when you teach them what is in the Bible rather than what they presume is in the Bible.
