John’s Quotes

“Better is one day in the company of those bullied by Christians but loved by Jesus than thousands in the company of those wielding scripture to harm the weak and defenseless.”
― David P. Gushee, Changing Our Mind: A call from America's leading evangelical ethics scholar for full acceptance of LGBT Christians in the Church

“Human life is sacred: this means that each and every human being has been set apart for designation as a being of elevated status and dignity. Each human being must therefore be viewed with reverence and treated with due respect and care, with special attention to preventing any desecration or violation of a human being.”
― David P. Gushee, The Sacredness of Human Life: Why an Ancient Biblical Vision Is Key to the World's Future

“The sense that card-carrying American evangelicalism now requires acquiescence to attitudes and practices that negate core teachings of Jesus is fueling today’s massive exodus.”
― David P. Gushee, After Evangelicalism: The Path to a New Christianity

“In general, evangelical fear of liberal learning has contributed to what Mark Noll properly described as “the scandal of the evangelical mind”—which is, in Noll’s immortal phrase, “that there is not much of an evangelical mind.”

“If what we are talking about is blessing an anything-goes ethic in a morally libertine culture, I stand utterly opposed, as I have throughout my career. But if what we are talking about is carving out space for serious committed Christians who happen to be gay or lesbian, to participate in society as equals, in church as kin, and in the blessings and demands of covenant on the same terms as everyone else, I now think that has nothing to do with cultural, ecclesial and moral decline, and everything to do with treating people the way Christ did.”
― David P. Gushee, Changing Our Mind
