“There is ... a great wisdom in our language. It is the embodiment of innumerable experiences of the past. It is not by chance alone that we use certain visible symbols and do not use others. Therefore, it is often useful to find the reasons for the choices of the collective mind of former generations.”
― Paul Tillich, The Shaking of the Foundations

“A philosophical system may stand on the coherence or persuasiveness of its propositions. The church is otherwise. It is not a collection of propositions or sayings; but a people transformed by the Word, the people of God.”
― George W. Forell, The Protestant Faith

“if the teachings of Christianity were genuinely to take root in human hearts ... we should have no desire for war, should hate injustice worse than death, and should find indifference to the sufferings of others impossible.”
― David Bentley Hart, Atheist Delusions

“Without the presuppositions of the Christian faith the individual is either nothing or becomes everything.”
― Reinhold Niebuhr, The Nature and Destiny of Man
