“As to harmonizing the theory of evolution with the Biblical account of creation, I do not believe it can be done, and I do not see why it should be. The story of Genesis is beautiful, and profoundly significant as symbolism: there is no good reason to torture it into conformity with modern theory.” ShouldBelieveReasonDoneStoriesBeautifulReligionModernCreationTheoryEvolutionAccountsSignificantTortureConformityBiblicalGenesisSymbolismTheory Of Evolution Author:Will Durant
“I believe that the biblical teaching is clear. It always contests political power. It incites to "counterpower," to "positive" criticism, to an irreducible dialogue (like that between king and prophet in Israel), to antistatism, to a decentralizing of the relation, to an extreme relativizing of everything political, to an anti-ideology, to a questioning of all that claims either power or dominion (in other words, of all things political), and finally, if we may use a modern term, to a kind of "anarchism" (so long as we do not relate the term to the anarchist teaching of the nineteenth century).” IfsKindMayLongUsePoliticalTermClearTeachingModernCenturyKingsAll ThingsCriticismClaimsRelationIsraelExtremesDialogueIdeologyRelateProphetQuestioningBiblicalContestsAnarchismAnarchistDominionNineteenth CenturyPolitical Power Author:Jacques Ellul
“Is it our task to force the biblical doctrine of God to answer to modern culture, or (is it our task) to address modern culture with the biblical doctrine of God? If modern culture-or any culture-establishes the baseline for the doctrine of God, such a doctrine will certainly bear little resemblance to the God of the Bible.” IfsLittlesCultureForceAnswersModernBearsTasksDoctrineAddressesBiblicalResemblanceModern Culture Author:Albert Mohler
