"[E]very minister of Jesus Christ must be both a disciplined theologian and a practicing churchman" na ka Introduction jong u Martin E. Marty.

We "think within the community of God's people, and for that community, and in the name of that community... we think as part of the community itself - and because this very community is concerned very rightly for our spiritual health." pg 5

"live on the battlefield of the risen Lord, between the first and second coming, waiting and praying as a Christian" pg 30

"[E]very theological idea which makes an impression upon you must be regarded as a challenge to your faith. Do not assume as a matter of course that you believe whatever impresses you theologically and enlightens you intellectually. Otherwise, suddenly you are believing no longer in Jesus Christ, but in Luther, or in one of  your other theological teachers." pg 31

"Whoever ceases to be a man of the spirit automatically furthers a false theology, even if in thought it is pure, orthodox and basically Lutheran." pg 36 

Read "the Bible uncommonly often" and make "the most of opportunities by which, in preaching and Bible classes, that cornerstone is made visible." pg 40

Kine ki dei ki katto katne ki notes jong nga halor kane ka kot:
  1. Ki ba dang shu sdang ha ka jingshakri lane kiba dang shu wan na ka seminary kim pat dei ban bunktien than. U Thielicke lei lei u ong ba kine kim pat dei satia ban hikai ha ka balang.
  2. Historical-critical study of the Bible should enrich our faith.
  3. Ki pastor ki pastor lane sharai ïa ki balang/parabangeit jong ki. Ki balang/parabangeit pat ki sharai kylla ïa ki pastor jong ki. Namar kata ki pastor ki hap ban sngew ïa ki concerns jong ki parabangeit. U Jisu u dei u nongsharai ba ha khlieh tam.
Kine harum ki dei ki reviews halor kane ka kot:
