“Theology is not superior to the Gospel. It exists to aid the preaching of salvation.

Walter Rauschenbusch“Whoever sets any bounds for the reconstructive power of the religious life over the social relations and institutions of men, to that extent denies the faith of the Master.”
Walter Rauschenbusch“In a few years all our restless and angry hearts will be quiet in death, but those who come after us will live in the world which our sins have blighted or which our love of right has redeemed.”
