Quotes by Beth Felker Jones (?)

“The idea that gentleness isn't masculine or the dangerous idea that grown women shouldn't have body fat are sinful distortions of masculinity and femininity. These distorted ideas aren't what our good God intended for us when he gave us sexually differentiated bodies...It can also help us to recognize that growing in holiness as a son or daughter of God sometimes requires defying social rules about men not being gentle or women needing to eat so little that they cannot thrive.”
― Beth Felker Jones, Faithful: A Theology of Sex

“The discipline of theology is about learning to read Scripture more faithfully. It is also about speaking the truth of Scripture in ways that fit new contexts, new times, and new places. It is true that human beings are very talented at using reason, tradition, and experience to support our own sins. It is also true that reading Scripture well is very hard work.”
― Beth Felker Jones, Practicing Christian Doctrine: An Introduction to Thinking and Living Theologically

“Divine revelation is altogether more powerful. When God reveals divine reality to us, real transformation takes place. When we truly know the things of God, we will be changed—body, soul, and spirit.”
