“perfectionism by definition denotes the deterioration and deformation of Biblical or Christian perfection.” (Page 3)
“Therefore Yahweh’s perfection means His saving and sanctifying will to remain in fellowship and communion with His covenant people and through them with the world. And since ‘love’ is the will to communion and intercourse, God’s perfection may be called His constant redeeming love, His perfect or steadfast love (ḥesed) which again is normed by His covenant.” (Page 43)
“the Old Testament Yahweh Himself is the norm of perfection, righteousness, truth, mercy and grace” (Page 39)
“but to the dynamic world of God’s actions and the concrete revelation of His will.” (Page 40)
“was not to change man ethically, but to change the gods themselves” (Page 5)
