“We typically admire the intellectual abilities and accomplishments of those who understand the intricacies of physics. Physics, however, is only the study of the world that God has created. Theology is the study of God, who is creator and redeemer. Therefore, even with the revelation of God in Scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we should not be surprised that the work of theology calls for the very best that we have to give. And we should be thankful for the theologians we study, who have gone before us to understand the God in whom we believe.”
Jonathan R. Wilson, A Primer for Christian Doctrine

“When Christian teaching fails to connect beauty to the blessing of creation, an alternative account of beauty may develop. In some cases, beauty is appropriated and affirmed as a tool for witness to the gospel. The mistake here is subtle: rather than celebrating beauty as an aspect of the blessing of creation and thus an essential part of the good news of creation and its redemption, beauty becomes merely instrumental to Christian witness.”
Jonathan R. Wilson, God's Good World: Reclaiming the Doctrine of Creation

“In Jesus' death we see the willingness of God to enter into our suffering as a sacrifice for sin. In his resurrection we see the power of God to overcome the effects of sin.”
Jonathan R. Wilson, A Primer for Christian Doctrine
