Reformation names the disunity in which we currently stand. We who remain in the Protestant tradition want to say that Reformation was a success.

Reformation ends not in contemplation, but in action.

So much of our fictional medievalism is distorted through a lens of Protestantism and the Reformation, slanted even further through Victorian anti-Catholicism. The depiction of actual medieval attitudes toward the Church is remarkably rare.

I just got fed up with the Protestantism that I'd been brought up with being rubbed out, disregarded. There's an awful lot of frailty and doubt about it, which I understand and share, but there are certain things you just have to acknowledge.

I'd like to write a history, maybe of the Reformation.

The Reformation did not directly touch the question of the true character of God's church.

I don't want to just preach to the church. I feel like I have a broader message.

Reformation, like education, is a journey, not a destination.

You notice how liberals keep saying, 'If only Islam would have a Reformation' - it can't have one. It says it can't. It's extremely dangerous in that way.
