8 QUOTES WITH «THEOLOGIAN»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word theologian.
1
Dinesh D'Souza
I was a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) in Washington, and my neighbor was Michael Novak, a theologian and philosopher who has written about issues like the morality of capitalism and the Christian roots of free markets. It's possible to be fascinated intellectually with the Christian heritage without being devout.
2
Godfried Danneels
There is a very well-defined procedure that allows the Vatican to raise issues with a particular theologian about something that does not appear in conformity with the Catholic faith. It is not always easy to make this determination.
3
Stanley Hauerwas
I confess I take perverse delight as a theologian in the controversies surrounding postmodernism.
4
Constance Baker Motley
King thought he understood the white Southerner, having been born and reared in Georgia and trained a theologian.

John Polkinghorne
Theologians have a great problem because they're seeking to speak about God. Since God is the ground of everything that is, there's a sense in which every human inquiry is grist to the theological mill. Obviously, no theologian can know everything.
6
Susan Powter
There isn't a theologian in the world who can argue with me on this. God has no gender. If that's the case, then everything needs to be rewritten now, right now.
7
Arthur Schopenhauer
The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind; the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity.
8
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.
