Orthodox Theologian

Famous quotes containing the words orthodox and/or theologian:

“The gloomy theology of the orthodox—the Calvinists—I do not, I cannot believe. Many of the notions—nay, most of the notions—which orthodox people have of the divinity of the Bible, I disbelieve. I am so nearly infidel in all my views, that too, in spite of my wishes, that none but the most liberal doctrines can command my assent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“The theologian considers sin mainly as an offence against God; the moral philosopher as contrary to reasonableness.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
