“Once the devil is identified, he is too laughable to be taken seriously, but we have to know in what direction to throw the inkwell.”

“To the way in which the Western Church most often talks about God, the fact of the Incarnation has made far too little difference; most of what we say could equally well be said if God’s Logos were that immaterial mirror and Jesus simply a great prophet or rabbi—or beach-boy guru. And that God and that Jesus are indeed fundamentally uninteresting.”

“There is and can be no greater offense to the way all of us now manage our lives, than the forgiveness of sins. Also the Church has much difficulty with it. On the one hand, if we are all ok in any case, there is nothing to forgive; “acceptance” is not the same as “forgiveness.” “Accept yourself as you are” is not the same as “I forgive you,” and assuredly not as “In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, I absolve you of your sin.” In the mainline churches, and it seems increasingly in the evangelical churches, forgiveness is taken for a matter of course; but then it is not forgiveness.”
