The theologian who labors without joy is not a theologian at all. Sulky faces, morose thoughts and boring ways of speaking are intolerable in this field.

Karl Barth

No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.

R. C. Sproul

Kant was a rational theologian. He did not pretend to be a biblical or revealed theologian.

Allen W. Wood

I did not learn my theology all at once, but had to search constantly deeper and deeper for it. My temptations did that for me, for no one can understand Holy Scripture without practice and temptations...I t is not by reading, writing, or speculation that one becomes a theologian. Nay, rather, it is living, dying, and being damned that makes one a theologian.

Martin Luther

A theologian of the cross says what a thing is. In modern parlance: a theologian of the cross calls a spade a spade. One who ‘looks on all things through suffering and the cross’ is constrained to speak the truth…it will see precisely that the cross and the resurrection itself is the only answer to that problem, not erasure or neglect.

John Calvin

Richard Rohr is a theologian that I read.

Greg Boyle

Never trust a theologian who doesn't have a sense of humor.

D. Elton Trueblood

A Theologian has nothing on a man who has experienced God

Paul Washer

I'm a scientist, not a theologian. I don't know if there is a God or not. Religion requires certainty.

James Lovelock

I confess I take perverse delight as a theologian in the controversies surrounding postmodernism.

Stanley Hauerwas

The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind; the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Man, without a saving touch of woman in him, is too doltish, too naive and romantic, too easily deluded and lulled to sleep by his imagination to be anything above a cavalryman, a theologian or a corporation director.
