D. Stephen Long

“Only because our being and truth already belong to God can we avoid the nominalist temptation, where God arbitrarily and unexpectedly appears as a sheer act of will reversing creaturely being and commandeering our language miraculously from the outside such that nothing identifiably human remains of it.”

“Theology can only be done in cultural form.”

“God cannot be placed within any category larger than God in order to understand God.”

“Theology is like rowing a boat. You can only move forward when you are looking backwards.”
