D. A. Carson

Make a mistake in the interpretation of one of Shakespeare’s plays, falsely scan a piece of Spenserian verse, and there is unlikely to be an entailment of eternal consequence; but we cannot lightly accept a similar laxity in the interpretation of Scripture.
D. A. CARSON

Mistake Pain Play
My response to that is: there is no theological word that does not have to be similarly footnoted and constrained: justification, spirit, sanctification etc.
D. A. CARSON

Footnoted Justification Sanctification Similarly
To worship God ‘in spirit and in truth’ is first and foremost a way of saying that we must worship God by means of Christ. In him the reality has dawned and the shadows are being swept away (Hebrews 8:13).
D. A. CARSON

Christian Mean Reality
That God normally operates the universe consistently makes science possible; that he does not always do so ought to keep science humble.
D. A. CARSON

Doe Humble Ought
Most good evangelical Study Bibles have more in common than people sometimes realize. All of them are committed to explaining the Bible to lay readers.

A text without a context is a pretext for a proof text.
D. A. CARSON

Context Pretext Proof
When we suffer, there will sometimes be mystery… Will there also be faith?
D. A. CARSON

Faith Religious Suffering
There is no long-range effective teaching of the Bible that is not accompanied by long hours of ongoing study of the Bible.
D. A. CARSON

Long Teaching
Love the church because Jesus loves it.
D. A. CARSON

Church Jesus Love
True freedom is not the liberty to do anything we please, but the liberty to do what we ought; and it is genuine liberty because doing what we ought now pleases us
D. A. CARSON

Genuine Liberty Please
To God on whom we rely knows what suffering is all about- not merely in the way that God knows everything, but by experience.
D. A. CARSON

God Knows Suffering Way
Some Christians want enough of Christ to be identified with him but not enough to be seriously inconvenienced.
D. A. CARSON

Christ Christian Want
Some people say What’s the use of the term if it has to be so fully documented and constrained and footnoted and all the rest.

Sex is about timing. The world says: any time, any place. God says: my time, my place.
D. A. CARSON

Sex Timing World
Both God’s love and God’s wrath are ratcheted up in the move from the old covenant to the new, from the Old Testament to the New. These themes barrel along through redemptive history, unresolved, until they come to a resounding climax – in the cross.
D. A. CARSON

Covenant Moving Wrath
God’s wrath is not an implacable, blind rage. However emotional it may be, it is an entirely reasonable and willed response to offenses against his holiness. But his love . . . wells up amidst his perfections and is not generated by the loveliness of the loved.
D. A. CARSON

Emotional Love Wrath
