Guillermo del Toro
“Since childhood, I've been faithful to monsters. I have been saved and absolved by them, because monsters, I believe, are patron saints of our blissful imperfection, and they allow and embody the possibility of failing.”
Guillermo del Toro

N.T. Wright
“To this day, whenever people take it upon themselves to explore the divinity of Jesus, there is at the very least a tendency for the theme of God’s kingdom, coming on earth as in heaven, to be quietly lost from view. It is as though a young man spent all his time proving that he really was his father’s son and left no time or energy for working with his father in the family business—which would, actually, be one of the better ways of demonstrating the family likeness. The gospels don’t make that mistake. It is by his inaugurating of God’s kingdom, in his public career and on the cross, that Jesus reveals the father’s glory.”
N.T. Wright, How God Became King: The Forgotten Story of the Gospels

N.T. Wright
“Our questions have been wrongly put, because they haven’t been about the kingdom. They haven’t been about God’s sovereign, saving rule coming on earth as in heaven. Instead, our questions have been about a “salvation” that rescues people from the world, instead of for the world. “Going to heaven” has been the object (ever since the Middle Ages at least, in the Western church); “sin” is what stops us from getting there; so the cross must deal with sin, so that we can leave this world and go to the much better one in the sky, or in “eternity,” or wherever. But this is simply untrue to the story the gospels are telling—which, again, explains why we’ve all misread these wonderful texts. Whatever the cross achieves must be articulated, if we are to take the four gospels seriously, within the context of the kingdom-bringing victory.”
N.T. Wright, How God Became King: The Forgotten Story of the Gospels

N.T. Wright
“The gospels were all about God becoming king, but the creeds are focused on Jesus being God.”
N.T. Wright, How God Became King: The Forgotten Story of the Gospels

Makoto Fujimura
“The current reality of artists being disconnected from other disciplines, and even, in some cases, being seen as opposed to reason, creates a false dichotomy of knowing. Art is fundamental to the human search for deeper understanding. Art, by extension of this reasoning, is fundamental to understanding the Bible.”
Makoto Fujimura, Art and Faith: A Theology of Making
