Systematic Theology (1951–63)
Context: A theological system is supposed to satisfy two basic needs: the statement of the truth of the Christian message and the interpretation of this truth for every new generation. Theology moves back and forth between two poles, the eternal truth of its foundation and the temporal situation in which the eternal truth must be received. Not many theological systems have been able to balance these two demands perfectly.
“I am the conscience of the 21st Century.”
Quoted in the International Herald Tribune (24 November 2005).
“When the star dies, its eye closes; tired of watching, it flies back to its first bright dream.”
“The Star and the Eye,” p. 46
