I am fascinated in religion and theology and what people believe.

At present, too much theological thinking is very human-centered.

Theology is not only about understanding the world; it is about mending the world.

Regardless of theology or however you see life or relate to worshiping God, as an artist, my job is to tell the truth and then try to connect with these characters and people as honestly and deeply as possible.

I don't think my work is about the spiritual life, but it certainly touches on it.

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.

Theology is a science of mind applied to God.

For many decades now - and certainly during my adult life in academe - the Western intellectual world has not been convinced that theology is a pursuit that can be engaged in with intellectual honesty and integrity.

I analyze religious knowledge and consciousness.

I am very interested in theology. In fact, my first degree was in theology, so it's something that interests me greatly.
