David F. Wells • God in the Wasteland
Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this.

David F. Wells • God in the Wasteland
Religions are psychotherapeutic systems in the truest sense of the word, and on the grandest scale. They express the whole range of the psychic problem in mighty images; they are the avowal and recognition of the soul, and at the same time the revelation of the soul's nature. From this universal foundation no human soul is cut off.
David Tacey • The Darkening Spirit: Jung, spirituality, religion
Martin Buber argued that God is found in relationship. We connect with God by connecting deeply to others—and not just humans, but animals and things in nature as well.
Sarah Hurwitz • Here All Along: Finding Meaning, Spirituality, and a Deeper Connection to Life--in Judaism (After Finally Choosing to Look There)
Christian theology is language about the liberating character of God's presence in Jesus Christ as he calls his people into being for freedom in the world.
James H. Cone • God of the Oppressed
