Theology in Motion

"Christian faith is at bottom, trust in and obedience to the free and gracious God made known in Jesus Christ. Christian theology is this same faith in the mode of asking questions and struggling to find at least provisional answers to these questions. Faith in God revealed in Jesus Christ sets an inquiry in motion, fights the inclinations to accept things as they are and continually calls in question unexamined assumptions about God, our world, and ourselves...Christian faith asks questions, seeks understanding, both because God is always greater than our ideas of God, and because the public world that faith inhabits confronts it with challenges and contradictions that cannot be ignored. Christian faith 'causes us to think'... When faith no longer frees people to ask hard questions, it becomes inhuman and dangerous…faith seeks understanding passionately and relentlessly or it languishes and eventually dies" ~ Daniel Migliore
