The Christian image of God is that of a rational being who believes in human progress.

For ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.

For Christians, who believe they are created in the image of God, it is the Godhead, diversity in unity and the three-in-oneness of God, which we and all creation reflect.

It is the creative potential itself in human beings that is the image of God.

For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.

If creators of Christian culture hope to produce work that will bear good fruit, we must draw our life from the true source - our living Savior. He is real. He is present. But all too often we reduce him to an abstraction, giving him intellectual assent, but not our hearts.

Theology is a science of mind applied to God.

It is good to have an intellectual awareness of our dependence upon God - to understand how great He is and how very small we are in His sight.

The idea that an individual can find God is terribly self-centered. It is like a wave thinking it can find the sea.

In Christ the original image of God is restored, by faith in this world and by sight in the world to come.
