“My dad, we'll be talking about goals for the next year. He's like, 'I think you can be here,' and I look at him like he's cross-eyed, like, 'Are you serious? That's so far out of my reach.'

“Painting for me is like a fabric, all of a piece and uniform, with one set of threads as the representational, esthetic element, and the cross-threads as the technical, architectural, or abstract element. These threads are interdependent and complementary, and if one set is lacking the fabric does not exist. A picture with no representational purpose is to my mind always an incomplete technical exercise, for the only purpose of any picture is to achieve representation.” IfsMindDoePurposePiecesAchievePaintingExerciseElementsCrossesAbstractThreadUniformsFabricRepresentationLackingIncompleteComplementary Author:Juan Gris

“Systematic theology will ask questions like "What are the attributes of God? What is sin? What does the cross achieve?" Biblical theology tends to ask questions such as "What is the theology of the prophecy of Isaiah? What do we learn from John's Gospel? How does the theme of the temple work itself out across the entire Bible?" Both approaches are legitimate; both are important. They are mutually complementary.” DoeImportantAsksSinAchieveApproachCrossesTheologyThemeTemplesAttributesBiblicalProphecySystematicComplementaryAttributes Of God Author:D. A. Carson
