“If Paul was not reacting to a legalistic Judaism which understood salvation to be dependent ultimately on human achievement, then what was he reacting to? Sanders himself saw Paul’s reaction to be essentially confused. But James Dunn argued that the new perspective shed light on Paul’s theology by allowing us to see that its polemical thrust was directed not against the idea of achieving God’s acceptance by the merit of personal achievement (good works), but against the Jewish intention to safeguard the privilege of covenant status from being dissipated or contaminated by non-Jews. Paul was reacting primarily against the exclusivism which he himself had previously fought to maintain. In particular, he was reacting against the conviction (shared by most other Christian Jews) that ‘works of the law’, such as (or particularly) circumcision and laws of clean and unclean, continued to prescribe the terms of covenant relationship for Gentiles as well as Jews. It was in and from this conflict that Paul’s doctrine of justification by faith alone achieved its classic expression (Gal. 2:1–21). (p.10)”

“If theology is to contribute anything good to the world, then it must shift its focus from the study of scriptures to the outspoken advocacy of religious integration. And if theologians cannot be the forerunners of religious integration, then such theology isn't worth a penny.”

“Δύο είναι τα πράγματα που συγκροτούν τη ζωή ενός ανθρώπου: οι έγνοιες και τα όνειρα. Χωρίς έγνοιες είσαι νεκρός. Χωρίς όνειρα επίσης. Υπάρχουν άνθρωποι που δεν περιμένουν πια τίποτε από τη ζωή, γι' αυτό ψάχνουν το όνειρο αλλού, στη μετά θάνατον ζωή, στον Παράδεισο. Όμως οι πρόγονοί μας μάς δίδαξαν ότι το όνειρο βρίσκεται εδώ, στη μαγεία της φαντασίας τους, στα παραμυθένια κτίρια που έκτισαν, στην ποίηση που έγραψαν. Με την ποίησή τους ακόμα και οι αμμόλοφοι έκαναν πίσω.”

“BEATITUDES My God, this is staggering, Woah! Immense. This epiphany quivers me as I write. How powerful, nonpareil, & superordinary is your Word. The BEATITUDES for instance, is a saintly archetype of direct investment, --seed planting & a sure-way harvest. May I liken it a bit to a spiritual trading --one in which, to get this-- you do this. Simple, practical & yet so effective. The only ingredient required for this is aBsOluTe OBEDIENCE. Meanwhile, all of humanity-- everyone actively, passively, knowingly or otherwise is a trader at this heavenly market of life. --©Bright Heaven's”
