“Fixed identities rooted in the past represent the antithesis of historical thinking.”

“For Luther, the main antithesis is not between philosophy and theology. It is between good theology and bad theology, according to Gerhard Ebeling.”

“It is the antithesis of the still-prevailing Greek worldview which adulates logic and the laws of nature as absolute.”

“The seven deadly sins and their antitheses, the four cardinal virtues and three heavenly graces, provide the book's organising principle.”

“On the contrary, in every organic process, the antitheses always reflect a unified totality, and civilization is an organic process.”

“This is summed up in the biblical antitheses between the wheat and the tares, the old man and the new, outward and inward.”
