Theology Quotes

Every single Biblical doctrine of theology, directly or indirectly, ultimately has its basis in the book of Genesis Picture Quote #1

Khalif (Caliph) Al-Ma’mun’s period of rule (813 - 833 C.E.) may be considered the ‘golden age’ of science and learning. He had always been devoted to books and to learned pursuits.

Theology, not morality, is the first business on the church’s agenda of reform, and the church, not society, is the first target of divine criticism Picture Quote #1

The speculative thinker makes Christianity into theology, instead of recognizing that a living relationship to Christ involves passion, struggle, decision, personal appropriation, and inner transformation.’ (Moore’s summary of Kierkegaard) Picture Quote #1

A mystery, in Christian theology, is what God knows and man cannot, and must instead believe Picture Quote #1

Beyond these models of reconciliation, a theology of mysticism provides some hope for common ground between Christianity and Islam. Both religions have within their histories examples of ecstatic union with God, which seem at odds with their own spiritual traditions but have much in common with each other Picture Quote #1

Scripture was given to the church, and theology is a necessary work of the church, by the church, in the church, and for the church Picture Quote #1

The treatment of women in Muslim communities throughout the world is unconscionable. All civilized nations must unite in condemnation of a theology that now threatens to destabilize much of the Earth Picture Quote #1

One moment of prayer, of weak worship, confused contrition, tepid thanksgiving, or pitiful petition will bring us closer to God than all the books of theology in the world Picture Quote #1

People of different faiths, like yours and mine, sometimes wonder where we can meet in common purpose, when there are so many differences in creed and theology. Surely the answer is that we can meet in service, in shared moral convictions about our nation stemming from a common worldview Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Oddly enough, my favorite genre is not fiction. I’m attracted by primary sources that are relevant to historical questions of interest to me, by famous old books on philosophy or theology that I want to see with my own eyes, by essays on contemporary science, by the literatures of antiquity Picture Quote #1

Wherever there is abuse there is also corruption. Politics, philosophy, theology, science, industry, any field with the potential to affect the well-being of others can be destroyed by abuse and saved by good will Picture Quote #1

Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can’t construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history Picture Quote #1

I`m impressed that people out there in Pennsylvania , deer hunter country, have had it with these stupid wars, that they don`t go along with the neocon theology, they don`t go along with the big money people or the evangelicals that always seem to want to fight, especially in the Middle East Picture Quote #1

Theology in general seems to me a substitution of human ingenuity for divine wisdom Picture Quote #1

As an undergraduate, I took a theology course titled Religion as Writing. If writing can be considered a form of faith, then inevitably doubt has to accompany it Picture Quote #1

These guys [liberals] will never tire of spending our money and will never hold themselves accountable for their boondoggles. For them the failure of $5 trillion to eradicate poverty simply means that we haven’t spent enough money. Ditto with education. The solution is always more money. No amount of empirical evidence will shake their socialist theology Picture Quote #1

Depression can kill you. It can also be a spiritually enriching experience. It’s really an important part of my theology now and my spirituality that life is not perfect, and I grew up wanting it to be and thinking that if it wasn’t, I could make it that way, and I had to acknowledge that I had all kinds of flaws and sadnesses and problems Picture Quote #1

Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation is big on buzz but is not the stunning surprise claimed by many pundits. It is rather a further example of the German theology professor’s style that informed his years as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, his term as pope, and the formation of his legacy to the church Picture Quote #1

For there is some danger of falling into a soft and effeminate Christianity, under the plea of a lofty and ethereal theology Picture Quote #1

[The Truth Seeker is] Devoted to: science, morals, free thought, free discussions, liberalism, sexual equality, labor reform, progression, free education and whatever tends to elevate and emancipate the human race.Opposed to: priestcraft, ecclesiasticism, dogmas, creeds, false theology, superstition, bigotry, ignorance, monopolies, aristocracies, privileged classes, tyranny, oppression, and everything that degrades or burdens mankind mentally or physically Picture Quote #1

Theology, philosophy, metaphysics, and quantum physics are merely ways for God to have his smart people believe in him Picture Quote #1

Theology is speaking about God while in the very presence of God. We are intimately engaged with the subject of our study Picture Quote #1

Regardless of the official theology held on paper, moralistic preaching (the bane of conservatives and liberals alike) assumes that we are not really helpless sinners who need to be rescued but decent folks who need good examples, exhortations, and instructions Picture Quote #1
