“No text can be understood out of its entire context. The most "entire" context is Jesus. Every biblical text must be read in the living presence of Jesus. Every word of the scriptural text is a window or door leading us out of the tarpaper shacks of self into this great outdoors of God's revelation.”
― Eugene H. Peterson

“The true atheist is the one who refuses to see God's image in the face of their neighbour.”
― Shane Claiborne, The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical

“Biological family is too small of a vision. Patriotism is far too myopic. A love for our own relatives and a love for the people of our own country are not bad things, but our love does not stop at the border.”
― Shane Claiborne, The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical

“There are some things to die for but none to kill for. ”
