“But if the good news is that the world has been reconciled to God by the cross, the bad news is the world seems not to have noticed.”
― John D. Caputo, Cross and Cosmos: A Theology of Difficult Glory

“The great tragedy of the Christological controversies was that, for the most part, the Churches were divided more by language than by belief. The so-called Monophysites, for instance, never meant to deny the full and inviolable humanity of Christ. The so-called Nestorians never meant to deny the real unity of God and man in Christ. There were, however, powerful political forces at play as well: the division of the ‘Oriental’ Churches from Rome and Constantinople was partly the result of indigenous resentment of imperial power.”
― David Bentley Hart, The Story of Christianity

“Exile” wasn’t just geographical. It was a state of mind and heart, of politics and practicalities, of spirit and flesh. As long as pagans were ruling over the Jews, they were again in exile.”
― N.T. Wright, Paul: A Study of the Apostle Paul's Life and Legacy

“The Cappadocian arguments against the Eunomians were many, complex and subtle; but perhaps the most effective was the simplest: if it is the Son who joins us to the Father, and only God can join us to God, then the Son is God; and if, in the sacraments of the Church and the life of faith, it is the Spirit who joins us to the Son, and only God can join us to God, then the Spirit too must be God.”
― David Bentley Hart, The Story of Christianity
