H. Richard Niebuhr
“Everyone has some kind of philosophy, some general worldview, which to men of other views will seem mythological.”
H. Richard Niebuhr, Christ and Culture: 50th Anniversary Edition―Being True to Christ in a Materialistic Age

Karl Barth
“To be pilgrims means that men must perpetually return to the starting-point of that naked humanity which is absolute poverty and utter insecurity. God must not be sought as though he sat enthroned upon the summit of religious attainment. He is to be found on the plain where men suffer and sin. The veritable pinnacle of religious achievement is attained when men are thrust down into the company of those who lie in the depths. The true faith is the "faith of Abraham which he had in uncircumcision"; the true children of Abraham are thy whom God is able to raise up "of these stones". Where this is overlooked, the first must become the last, for only the last can be first.”
Karl Barth, The Epistle to the Romans

Alasdair MacIntyre
“It is only by participation in a rational, practice-based community that one becomes rational.”
Alasdair MacIntyre, Whose Justice? Which Rationality?

Eugene H. Peterson
“Obedience is the thing, living in active response to the living God. The most important question we ask of this text is not, 'What does this mean?' but 'What can I obey?' A simple act of obedience will open up our lives to this text far more quickly than any number of Bible studies and dictionaries and concordances.”
Eugene H. Peterson, Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading

H. Richard Niebuhr
“Nothing is as evanescent in history as the pansophic theories that flourish among the illuminati of all times under the bright sunlight of the latest scientific discoveries; and nothing can be more easily dismissed by later periods as mere speculation.”
H. Richard Niebuhr, Christ and Culture: 50th Anniversary Edition―Being True to Christ in a Materialistic Age
