From The Heart of Christianity:

“Faith is about beloving God and all that God beloves. The Christian life is about beloving God and all that God beloves. Faith is our love for God. Faith is the way of the heart.”

“I don’t think that Jesus literally died for our sins. I don’t think he thought of his life and purpose that way. I don’t think he thought of that as his divinely given vocation...But I do have faith in the cross as a trustworthy disclosure of the evil of domination systems, as the exposure of the defeat of the powers, as the revelation of the ‘way’ or ‘path’ of transformation, as the revelation of the depth of God’s love for us, and as the proclamation of radical grace.”

“Salvation is not only personal; it is also social. It is about the wholeness of a community living together in peace and justice...Salvation is the work of God, but without our response, little or nothing will change in our lives or in the life of the world.”
