Text Quotes
A religious commitment coupled with theological awareness gives Jews a much better way to answer the claims made upon us by missionaries representing other religions than do the rather weak political and cultural arguments of the secularists.  (Theological Quotes) People don’t do theology in a vacuum but in a community with other theological thinkers, where there’s jealousy, vanity, hurt pride, all those things.  (Theological Quotes) Many readers fail to realize this, but ‘The Color Purple’ is a theological text. It is about the reclamation of one’s original God: the earth and nature.  (Theological Quotes) You can latch onto theological ideas that are, in fact, not accurate, and refuse to let them go. I think we’ve seen this a few times in church history.  (Theological Quotes) We know that segregation is evil. We know that the sickest children should not go to the worst hospitals. No, I refuse to pretend the problem is insufficient knowledge. We lack the theological will to do it.  (Theological Quotes) Almost all theological thought is anthropocentric and I just cannot buy into the anthropocentric ideology. Basically we’re a bunch of conceited apes.  (Theological Quotes) Ravi Zacharias brings with him considerable intellectual strength and theological depth. His background brings him and understanding of cultures and personal acquaintance with other religions  (Theological Quotes) Our normal sense of the person as a lonely island of consciousness, is a dramatic illusion based on theological imagery.  (Theological Quotes) I was never close to Jerry Falwell because he had his ministry, I had mine. And we came from different theological training and from a different psychological education.  (Theological Quotes) The theological virtue of hope is the patient and trustful willingness to live without closure, without resolution, and still be content and even happy because our Satisfaction is now at another level, and our Source is beyond ourselves.  (Theological Quotes) All schools, all colleges, have two great functions: to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten  (Theological Quotes) The fact that monasticism preceded the identification of greed as a primal sin is an important reminder that our very ability to name sin is a theological achievement  (Theological Quotes) The theological contacts between Jews and Christians during much of the premodern period are best characterized as disputations. Even when not engaged in face-to-face argumentation, Jews and Christians spoke about each other in essentially disputational terms  (Theological Quotes) Humanists hold that ethical values are relative to human experience and need not be derived from theological or metaphysical foundations.  (Theological Quotes) As liberty and intelligence have increased the people have more and more revolted against the theological dogmas that contradict common sense and wound the tenderest sensibilities of the soul  (Theological Quotes) And while faith based on theological reasoning is today universally engaged in a bitter struggle with doubt and resistance from the prevailing brand of rationalism, it does seem that the naked fundamental experience itself, that primal seizure of mystic insight, stripped of religious concepts, perhaps no longer to be regarded as a religious experience at all, has undergone an immense expansion and now forms the soul of that complex irrationalism that haunts our era like a night bird lost in the dawn  (Theological Quotes) Knotty theological questions are the least worrying of problems to me. Why? Because they will be resolved in the hereafter, and meanwhile they can be safely shelved  (Theological Quotes) I occupy much of my time in theological studies for which I have a natural inclination  (Theological Quotes) Ancient metaphysics underwent many changes at the hands of medieval thinkers who brought it in line with the dominant religious and theological movements of their day  (Theological Quotes) Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage  (Theological Quotes) Our purpose is simply to ask how theological principles can be shown to have usable secular analogues that throw light upon the nature of language  (Theological Quotes) To explain the unknown by the known is a logical procedure; to explain the known by the unknown is a form of theological lunacy  (Theological Quotes) Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love. If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him  (Theological Quotes) You don’t have a soul, so you can’t be baptized. All animals are like that. I think it’s unfair and sometimes I don’t believe it. After all, what would heaven be without birds or dogs or horses? And what about trees and flowers? They don’t have souls either. Does that mean heaven looks like a cement parking lot? I suppose this is what the nuns call a theological problem  (Theological Quotes) Children, after being limbs of Satan in traditional theology and mystically illuminated angels in the minds of educational reformers, have reverted to being little devils; not theological demons inspired by the evil one, but scientific Freudian abominations inspired by the unconscious  (Theological Quotes) I am not a great theologian. I know there is a theological concept called invincible ignorance in which a strong enough faith binds you to any facts to the contrary  (Theological Quotes) I regard it as the irresistible effect of the Copernican astronomy to have made the theological scheme of redemption absolutely incredible  (Theological Quotes) Most of us retain enough of the theological attitude to think that we are little gods  (Theological Quotes) One of my realizations in such an earthy atmosphere was that many of the burning theological issues in the church were neither burning nor theological  (Theological Quotes) True contemplation is not a psychological trick but a theological grace. It can come to us only as a gift, and not as a result of our own clever use of spiritual techniques  (Theological Quotes)
