Zitat des Tages über Theologie / Theology:

Theology in general seems to me a substitution of human ingenuity for divine wisdom. Julia Ward Howe

I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.

Albert Einstein

The best theology is rather a divine life than a divine knowledge.

Jeremy Taylor

Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything.

Robert A. Heinlein

The function of Theology? The recitation of the incomprehensible by the unspeakable to pick the pockets of the unthinking.

Robert Anton Wilson

Theology in general seems to me a substitution of human ingenuity for divine wisdom.

Julia Ward Howe

We have Christians against Muslims against Jews, and no matter how liberal your theology, merely identifying yourself as a Christian or a Jew lends tacit validity to this status quo. People have morally identified with a subset of humanity rather than with humanity as a whole.

Sam Harris

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is 'The Book of British Birds,' and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology.

Terry Eagleton

Theology made no provision for evolution. The biblical authors had missed the most important revelation of all! Could it be that they were not really privy to the thoughts of God?

E. O. Wilson

I very rarely read any fiction. I love biographies; I read about all kinds of people. I love theology and some philosophy.

Al Sharpton

A mystery, in Christian theology, is what God knows and man cannot, and must instead believe.

Jill Lepore

I had a place at university to study theology and philosophy. I got the divinity prize at my school two years in a row. Probably because there were only 10 of us, but still.

Ben Lloyd-Hughes

I read things like theology, and I read about science, 'Scientific American' and publications like that, because they stimulate again and again my sense of the almost arbitrary given-ness of experience, the fact that nothing can be taken for granted.

Marilynne Robinson

I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences.

Walt Whitman

For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington.

Bill Moyers

Our theology is still in a time of crisis, and I think this will last for some years more.

Godfried Danneels

The very fact that doctrine is hewn from bitter controversy and tested through time is sufficient reason to make them a focus of theology.

Stanley Hauerwas

What humanity needs today is not merely philosophy or theology, but a message or reassurance.

Dada Vaswani

The treatment of women in Muslim communities throughout the world is unconscionable. All civilized nations must unite in condemnation of a theology that now threatens to destabilize much of the Earth.

Sam Harris

What I think I have in common with the school of deconstruction is the mode of negative thinking or negative awareness, in the technical, philosophical sense of the negative, but which comes to me through negative theology.

Harold Bloom

One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.

Robert A. Heinlein

Let us put theology out of religion. Theology has always sent the worst to heaven, the best to hell.

Robert Green Ingersoll

The result has been that although few conservative Presbyterian churches actually worship in the Puritan way, the Puritan theology of worship remains the standard orthodoxy among them. This discrepancy sometimes leads to guilty consciences.

John Frame

Before Vatican II, in theology, as in other areas, the discipline was fixed. After the council there has been a revolution - a chaotic revolution - with free discussion on everything. There is now no common theology or philosophy as there was before.

Godfried Danneels

My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed.

Christopher Morley

I was famous in our college for calm and impassionate discussion; for one whole summer, I rose at five and went to bed at midnight, that I might have sufficient time for theology and metaphysics.

William Godwin

Catholic theology believes that God gave man free will, and you can't give somebody free will and then send in a play from the sidelines.

Roger Ebert

Realizing our society as it is, without theology dogmatically telling us how we should react to it, and being humane toward that society, that is all that we're sure of.

Vidal Sassoon

I also think we need to maintain distinctions - the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology, and we should resist the temptation, which sometimes scientists give in to, to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science.

John Polkinghorne

What makes you a Christian is whether or not you really are in accord with biblical theology and whether you know Jesus Christ as your Saviour.

Walter Martin

Life isn't like a book. Life isn't logical or sensible or orderly. Life is a mess most of the time. And theology must be lived in the midst of that mess.

Charles Caleb Colton

Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can't construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.

John Polkinghorne

In all systems of theology the devil figures as a male person. Yes, it is women who keep the church going.

Don Marquis

Then I studied theology in college, and when I was getting a Ph.D. in literature, I took courses in New Testament studies and studied Greek versions of the Gospels.

Jay Parini

If we take science as our sole guide, if we accept and hold fast that alone which is verifiable, the old theology must go.

John Burroughs

My degree in theology was an important part of my formation.

Jeff Fortenberry

Conservative New Testament studies could also provide an intellectually satisfying alternative to German biblical criticism and to the liberal theology that accompanied it.

John Gresham Machen
