Theological Quotes (page 6)

It is theologically and anthropologically important for woman to be at the center of Christianity. Through Mary, and the other holy women, the feminine element stands at the heart of the Christian religion. Joseph Ratzinger
C. S. Lewis quote: "Any amount of theology can now be smuggled into people's minds..."
Any amount of theology can now be smuggled into people's minds under the cover of fiction without their knowing it. C. S. Lewis
[A historian] will more seriously deplore the loss of the Byzantine libraries, which were destroyed or scattered in the general confusion: one hundred and twenty thousand manuscripts are said to have disappeared; ten volumes might be purchased for a single ducat; and the same ignominious price, too high perhaps for a shelf of theology, included the whole works of Aristotle and Homer, the noblest productions of the sciences and literature of ancient Greece. Edward Gibbon
We are afraid of the known and afraid of the unknown. That is our daily life and in that there is no hope, and therefore every form of philosophy, every form of theological concept, is merely an escape from the actual reality of what is. All outward forms of change brought about by wars, revolutions, reformations, laws and ideologies have failed completely to change the basic nature of man and therefore of society. Thomas Jefferson
How many hours are there in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask-half our great theological and metaphysical problems-are like that. C. S. Lewis
If the physicists seem to achieve their ends more successfully than the theologians, that is simply a reflection of how much easier science is than theology. John Polkinghorne
The most blessed result of prayer would be to rise thinking "But I never knew before. I never dreamed...." I suppose it was at such a moment that Thomas Aquinas said of all his own theology, "It reminds me of straw. C. S. Lewis
Hope is one of the Theological virtues. This means that a continual looking forward to the eternal world is not (as some modern people think) a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do. It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is. If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next. C. S. Lewis
I have one life and one chance to make it count for something . . . I'm free to choose what that something is, and the something I've chosen is my faith. Now, my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands -- this is not optional -- my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference. Jimmy Carter
Bill Moyers quote: "For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold..."
For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington. Bill Moyers
Christopher Morley quote: "My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but..."
My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed. Christopher Morley
I know the established Christian theology... I know the enemy, but the enemy doesn't know me. Thus the enemy has already lost the war. Sun Myung Moon
We establish no religion in this country, nor will we ever. But we poison our society when we remove its theological underpinnings. We court corruption when we leave society devoid of belief. Jeff Miller
The decline and fall of the modern religious right's notion of a Christian America creates a calmer political environment and, for many believers, may help open the way for a more theologically serious religious life. Jon Meacham
Given that sexual orientation is innate and that we are all, in theological terms, children of God, to deny access to some sacraments based on sexuality is as wrong as denying access to some sacraments based on race or gender. Jon Meacham
