I confess I take perverse delight as a theologian in the controversies surrounding postmodernism.

I am often criticized, or at least questions are raised, about what appears to be the absence of the Holy Spirit in my work.

My father was a better bricklayer than I am a theologian. I am still in too much of a hurry. But if the work I have done in theology is of any use, it is because of what I learned on the job, that is, you can lay only one brick at a time.

I simply cannot get over what a surprising and wonderful life God has given me.

We don't fall in love and then get married; instead we get married and then learn what love requires.

The movement that Jesus begins is constituted by people who believe that they have all the time in the world, made possible by God’s patience, to challenge the world’s impatient violence by cross and resurrection.

Only the one true God can take the risk of ruling by relying on the power of humility and love.
