Individual identity is truly a dialogue (not fixed) because a person thinks of himself as the result of learning the language of the community so that he can belong in that community (58) -- identity therefore requires recognition.

Ethics becomes a function of feeling. Right or wrong is not about the consequences of those decisions but purely about feeling (79).

‪“Some ministers need to be told that they are the same species as their hearers.” Ouch!

“Brethren, if you are not theologians, you are in your pastorates just nothing at all. You may be fine rhetoricians, and be rich in polished sentences, but without knowledge of the gospel, and aptness to teach it, you are but a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. Verbiage is too often the fig lead which does duty as a covering for theological ignorance” (75).

Fascinating read.
