One of the things we in the Reformed tradition are very good at is writing doctrinal theology!

There is no such thing as a stationary tradition. Traditions are always developing, living things.

The confessions don't speak with one voice. They are more like a cluster of closely-related but distinct voices - a kind of choir, if you like.

[John] Calvin is often identified with his account of predestination. Yet that appears in the third book of his Institutes, not the first.

[John] Calvin's Institutes is often called a summary of Christian piety. You can't say that about many modern works of theology. You can say it of Calvin.

I think everyone who has an interest in Reformed theology, or just in Christian theology more generally, should read John Calvin Institutes.

God shows us in Christ what he would have to do if he were to punish us for our sins.

[Calvinistic tradition] has fashioned and shaped my thinking since I was a teenager.

The best Reformed theology isn't just about careful arguments for theologically sophisticated conclusions. It is about how to live the Christian life.

Reformed theology belongs to this confessional tradition, and Reformed theologians and churches continue to write confessions even today.

Sacred heart begets happiness.

My memories came back like a punch in the face. Only good.

Let it be a small gain or big gain never do lesser than one's ability, let it be a pain or a pleasure never accept more than one's share.

The individual whose vision encompasses the whole world often feels nowhere so hedged in and out of touch with his surroundings as in his native land.

Be who you were born to be - it's what living things do.

Those who accept freedom of religion as a right are obligated by this acceptance to take the maintenance of freedom of religion as a duty.

I admire Ginsberg as a poet, despite the fact that he seems not to know when he is being good and when he is bad. But he will last, or at least those poems will last.

The song is languid and speaks of love and loneliness and loss. Why does love seem to go with the sad things?

Such creatures of accident are we, liable to a thousand deaths before we are born. But once we are here, we may create our own world, if we choose.

The closest to Hepburn is Cate Blanchett.
