“When 'biblical' theologies ignore the gospels, something is clearly very wrong." (on atonement theories)”

“A biblical metaphysics implies a biblical theory of knowledge and a biblical ethic.”

“Dilemmas always are a source of polarization. We quickly move over to simplistic either-or’s … in which the fulness of truth is torn apart. And in the atmosphere of false polarities, we often stop listening to each other’s words. With this, irritation and pique poison the theological discussion. But it is striking and, at the same time, reassuring that the clear intent of the gospel comes through even in the midst of theological polarization, especially when all the parties intend to be faithful to the gospel.”

“Very simple was my explanation, and plausible enough---as most wrong theories are!”

“Theology is ignorance with wings.”

“I think the devil has tricked us into thinking so much of biblical theology is story fit for kids.”
