The best theology is rather a divine life than a divine knowledge.
For the first time in our history ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington.
Theology made no provision for evolution. The biblical authors had missed the most important revelation of all! Could it be that they were not really privy to the thoughts of God?
Theology is a science of mind applied to God.
I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.
I feel that the Christian experience and the Jewish one have much to give each other. If this open society continues and there is no return to political anti-Semitism then this encounter deeper than any theology may happen.
I don't claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I'm home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book 'Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.'
Let us put theology out of religion. Theology has always sent the worst to heaven the best to hell.

If we take science as our sole guide if we accept and hold fast that alone which is verifiable the old theology must go.
