- "How do 'I' know the Bible is always right? And if 'I' am sophisticated enough to realize that I know nothing of the Bible without my own involvement via interpretation, I’ll also ask how I know which school, method, or technique of biblical interpretation is right. What makes a 'good' interpretation good? And if an appeal is made to a written standard (book, doctrinal statement, etc.) or to common sense or to; scholarly principles of interpretation,; the same pesky 'I' who liberated us from the authority of the church will ask, 'Who sets the standard? Whose common sense? Which scholars and why? Don’t all these appeals to authorities and principles outside the Bible actually undermine the claim of ultimate biblical authority? Aren’t they just the new pope?' " —A Generous Orthodoxy
- "I believe God works in all things for the good of all who love God and follow God's call." —ANewKindOfChristian.com
