Learning to Speak Christian

The crucial challenge for theology is that when it is read the reader thinks, ‘This is true.’ Recognizing claims that are ‘true’ enables readers to identify an honest expression of life’s complexities.

The worst betrayal of the task of theology comes when the theologian fears that the words he or she must use are not necessary.
