- "Dorothee Soelle in her critique of post-Christian apathy states that we are so dominated by the goal of avoiding suffering that we wall out the world and assume we have a God who does the same. But pain can be good if it furthers the process of its own abolition."

Theology
Today, 1989.
- "In a doxological fashion, the psalms testify to the primordial truth of the entire biblical tradition. Negatively put, we are not condemned to complete autonomy. Positively put, we come out from God; we are sustained by God; and our proper destiny is to be with God."
