Quotes by Tony Jones (?)

“There are two ways,” he told me, “and they are love and not love. I choose love.”
― Tony Jones

“God’s power, it turns out, comes in God’s willingness to abdicate power. God saves the world through submission to the point of solidarity with human weakness. Jesus’ final teaching to his disciples was to wash their feet and then tell them to go and do likewise, to act as servants to the world. Too often, Christians have done just the opposite.”
― Tony Jones, Did God Kill Jesus?: Searching for Love in History's Most Famous Execution – Essential Biblical Theology on Atonement and Grace

“Paul famously wrote, “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”5 How often do we measure Christian ideas and beliefs by these criteria?”
