“Beneath all the rhetoric about relevance lies a profoundly disturbing possibility - that people may base their lives upon an illusion, upon a blatant lie.

To allow "relevance" to be given greater weight than truth is a mark of intellectual shallowness and moral irresponsibility.”

“"Biblical theology" refers to something more precise than theology that is faithful to the Bible. It might be helpful to draw a contrast: at the risk of oversimplification, systematic theology tends to organize theology topically and with an eye cast on its contemporary relevance, while biblical theology tends to organize the same biblical material so that it is easier to see the distinctive contribution of each biblical book and human author, and to trace the trajectories of themes across the Bible so we see how the books of the Bible hold together.”

“I think it is less the limited amount of information than the filters that information about the Middle East must pass through before being fairly addressed in the mainstream media.
