The English word “love” is trying to do so many different jobs at the same time that someone really ought to sit down with it and teach it how to delegate. -Virtue Reborn / After You Believe

A temple is a heaven-and-earth place, with an image of the god at its heart. Jesus is now that place, that image, that heart. -The Challenge of Acts

With the ascension, part of earth - Jesus' body - is already and rightly in heaven. But if there is a physical place where heaven and earth come together - well, that is the very definition of a temple.

The gospel is not about our feelings, our imaginations, or our sense of what people will or won't like. It's about truth; about the reality of God's good creation and his purposes unveiled in Jesus. And truth remains God's, not ours. -The Vision of Ephesians

Tom explores what biblical authority actually means, why “inerrancy” can sometimes miss the point, and how the New Testament vision is not an escape from earth, but heaven and earth coming together in a new creation. @profntwright @mbird12 #AskNTWright premierunbelievable.com/ask-nt-wright-…

I read the commentaries of @profntwright while in college, so it was an absolute delight to have him on my show on @CatholicChannel I finally got to ask N.T. Wright how he, a world renowned Scripture scholar, reads the Bible. Here's his answer: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lit…

to speak, within that, of the shame without ignoring the promise, and to speak of the promise without forgetting the shame. ntwrightpage.com/2016/03/30/apo…

The vocation of the artist is to speak of the present as beautiful in itself but as pointing beyond itself, to enable us to see both the glory that already fills the earth and the glory that shall flood it to overflowing;

When art tries to speak of the new world, the final world, in terms only of the present world, it collapses into sentimentality; when it speaks of the present world only in terms of its shame and horror, it collapses into brutalism.

Christian leaders have an awesome responsibility to model the life that the gospel produces. Others will follow their lead, for better and for worse. -Dictionary for the Theological Interpretation of the Bible

-Evil and the Justice of God

The problem of the individual, which in much Western thought has been made central to philosophical and theological understanding, is presented in the Bible as a subset of the larger problem of Israel, of humankind and of creation itself.

The Old Testament isn't written in order to simply 'tell us about God' in the abstract. It isn't designed primarily to provide information, to satisfy the enquiring mind. It's written to tell the story of what God has done, is doing and will do about evil.

The reason history is fascinating is because people in other times and places are so like us. The reason history is difficult is because people in other times and places are so different from us. -Paul and the Faithfulness of God
