Recipe for Disaster

From Learner's readings in Covenant Theology class:

"Think of a doctrine. Double it with variant interpretations. Divide by denominational distinctives. Add some technical jargon. Subtract any practical relevance. Finally take away the doctrine you first thought of, and what are you left with? Probably the sum of the average theological student's awareness of the relation between his theological study and the mission of the church."

- Christopher J.H. Wright in Themelios 15.2 (1990), p. 39
