Top Highlights

“The New Testament talks about God by proclaiming in narrative the relationships of the Father, the Son and the Spirit, which are relationships of fellowship and are open to the world.” (Page 64)

“The expression ‘experience of God’ therefore does not only mean our experience of God; it also means God’s experience with us.” (Page 4)

“If God were incapable of suffering in every respect, then he would also be incapable of love.” (Page 23)

“But if he is capable of loving something else, then he lays himself open to the suffering which love for another brings him; and yet, by virtue of his love, he remains master of the pain that love causes him to suffer. God does not suffer out of deficiency of being, like created beings. To this extent he is ‘apathetic’. But he suffers from the love which is the superabundance and overflowing of his being. In so far he is ‘pathetic’.” (Page 23)

“The three divine Persons have everything in common, except for their personal characteristics. So the Trinity corresponds to a community in which people are defined though their relations with one another and in their significance for one another, not in opposition to one another, in terms of power and possession.” (Page 198)
