Suffering: A Test of Theological Method QUOTES

1 " Yet even at this level of theological work, Jesus Christ is central. For he is not only the life and light of God in relation to men; he is also man subjected to evil and darkness and death He is not only the goal of the Christian life; he is also the way toward that goal, the movement from alienation to openness, from death to life. Men do not have to leave their lost condition and progress toward God before they can be in contact with Christ. In Christ, God reaches all the way to them in their lostness. Christ enters the realm of their evil so as to draw them to himself. "

― Arthur C. McGill , Suffering: A Test of Theological Method

2 " If Jesus is the revelation of the essential power and life of God, then men cannot do violence to one another for their own self-expansion within the area of his Lordship. So far as they do this, they are exercising a powerfulness that contradicts the power of God. They have turned from light to darkness. "
