“What is needed is a biblically rooted,30 patristically guided,31 ecclesially located, and publicly engaged theology, done in critical conversation with the sciences and the various disciplines of the humanities, at the center of which is the question of the flourishing life.”
― Miroslav Volf, For the Life of the World (Theology for the Life of the World): Theology That Makes a Difference

“超市排隊結帳，服務生多嘴問老太太外套哪裡買的。話一拋出，後續便無法收拾，美國老太太多麼渴望有人跟自己說話啊。相信我，剛到美國若想找人練英文，到超市隨便找個老太太讚賞她的外套，就會知道她們有多寂寞。老太太回答外套是欣蒂送的，那年聖誕節blah blah blah……話多又不能一心二用的店員，碰上話更多又寂寞到不行的老太太，後方排隊人龍都快結蜘蛛網了，還得陪聽欣蒂的故事。當然，全世界沒人知道欣蒂是誰。”

“To exaggerate a bit: academic theology today is composed of specialists in an unrespected discipline who write for fellow specialists about topics that interest hardly anyone else.”
― Miroslav Volf, For the Life of the World (Theology for the Life of the World): Theology That Makes a Difference

“Creeping meaninglessness is a private cost of making the nature of the flourishing life a mere matter of taste.”
