Quotes by Luke Timothy Johnson (?)

“We all know that parents do not make children but that children make parents…Authentic parenting is one long sacrificial act…parenting reveals the way that sacrifice at once diminishes our life as we knew it…while at the same time revealing to us larger and infinitely more fascinating forms of life…Parents know experientially that the very process which makes them suffer also makes them grow.”
― Luke Timothy Johnson, The Living Gospel

“It is a form of generational narcissism to change texts to suit one's own needs.”
― Luke Timothy Johnson, The Creed: What Christians Believe and Why it Matters

“Those who are in pain – most of the world’s populations at any given moment – do not do a lot of thinking, speaking, or writing about suffering. All their energy goes into surviving. That is why a lot of what is said and written about suffering seems hollow to those actually in pain.”
― Luke Timothy Johnson, The Living Gospel
