“If we take the form of Scripture seriously,
the plurality of interpretive perspectives that it is,
we will have to do the same risky,
adventuresome thing that it does:
interpret the salvific love of God in ways that can
address our crises most persuasively and powerfully.”
― Sallie McFague, theologian
YESTERDAY was the birthday
of the late theologian Sallie McFague (b. 1933)
