All my theology is reduced to this narrow compass--"Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners." - Archibald Alexander The best theology would need no advocates; it would prove itself. - Karl Barth Theology is but a science of applied to God. As schools change theology must necessarily change. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas of truth are not. Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged. - Henry Ward Beecher Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged. - Henry Ward Beecher A theology at war with the laws of physical nature would be a battle of no doubtful issue. The laws of our spiritual nature give still less chance of success to the system which would thwart or stay them. - William Ellery Channing We can no more have exact religious thinking without theology, than exact mensuration and astronomy without mathematics, or exact iron-making without chemistry. - John Hall The theological systems of men and schools of men are determined always by the character of their ideal of Christ, the central fact of the Christian system. - Josiah Gilbert Holland (used pseudonym Timothy Titcomb) Medicine makes people ill, mathematics makes them sad, and theology makes them sinful. - Martin Luther He that seeks perfection upon earth leaves nothing new for the saints to find in heaven; for whilst men teach, there will be mistakes in divinity, and as long as no other govern, errors in the State. - Francis Osborne (Osborn) Comparative theology testifies that Jesus Christ, who is not less truly the incarnation of the Christian's theology than of the Christian's God, is indeed the desire of the nations, but not their product, their invention, or their discovery. - George D.B. Pepper A man must have a stout digestion to feed upon some men's theology; no sap, no sweetness, no life, but all stern accuracy, and fleshless definition. Proclaimed without tenderness, and argued without affection, the gospel from such men rather resembles a missile from a catapult than bread from a Father's hand. - Charles Haddon Spurgeon The best theology is rather a divine life than a divine knowledge. - Jeremy Taylor
