C.S. Lewis
“My idea of God is not a divine idea. It has to be shattered time after time. He shatters it Himself.”
C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

Stanley Hauerwas
“Never think that you need to protect God. Because anytime you think you need to protect God, you can be sure that you are worshipping an idol.”
Stanley Hauerwas

Stanley Hauerwas
“A social order bent on producing wealth as an end in itself cannot avoid the creation of a people whose souls are superficial and whose daily life is captured by sentimentalities. They will ask questions like “why does a good God let bad things happen to good people ” such people cannot imagine that a people once existed who produced and sang the psalms. If we learn to say “God ” we will do so with the prayer “My God my God why have you forsaken me?”
Stanley Hauerwas

Friedrich Schlegel
“The historian is a prophet looking backwards.”
Friedrich Von Schlegel, Philosophical Fragments

Stanley Hauerwas
“Saints cannot exist without a community, as they require, like all of us, nurturance by a people who, while often unfaithful, preserve the habits necessary to learn the story of God.”
Stanley Hauerwas
