The church doesn’t have a social strategy, the church is a social strategy.

The narratives of Scripture were not meant to describe our world ... but to change the world, including the one in which we now live.

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

Jesus is Lord, and everything else is bullshit.

I have assumed my clear commitment to a Trinitarian orthodoxy was sufficient evidence that I have not intentionally ignored the role of the Holy Spirit. It may be true, however, that my work has been so Christ-centred, I may have given the impression that the Holy Spirit is an afterthought.

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

The church is constituted as a new people who have been gathered from the nations to remind the world that we are in fact one people. Gathering, therefore, is an eschatological act as it is the foretaste of the unity of the communion of the saints.
