• Jesús y la espiritualidad pueden convertirse fácilmente en terapias que simplemente nos ayudan a sobrellevar la vida.

• Our society trains us to think of marriage as a contractual arrangement. If one party fails to fulfill his or her end, the contract is null and void. Increasingly children are raised in a contractual environment. When contractual thinking dominates our horizon, we can even make Jesus or the church an asset we think we can manage.

• El Evangelio es ininteligible para la mayoría de la gente hoy en día, especialmente en Occidente, porque sus historias particulares están alejadas de la historia de la creación, la caída, la redención y la consumación que se narra en la Biblia. Nuestro enfoque es introspectivo y estrecho, confiado a nuestro propio conocimiento, experiencia e intuición inmediatos. Intentando desesperadamente que los demás, incluido Dios, nos hagan felices, no conseguimos vislumbrar la verdadera historia que nos da un papel significativo.

• El objeto es evidente en el nombre de la disciplina. Del mismo modo, la teología (theologia) es el estudio de Dios. El objeto de la teología no es la enseñanza de la Iglesia ni la experiencia de las almas piadosas. No es un subconjunto de la ética, los estudios religiosos, la antropología cultural o la psicología. Dios es el objeto de esta disciplina.
