I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

Donald Bloesch (1928-2010)

He paved the way in evangelical systematic theology.

Refusing to choose between liberalism and fundamentalism, he [Bloesch] nevertheless expressed his preference for a kind of Christianity that preserved the doctrinal deposit of orthodoxy: "In liberalism truth is dissolved so that only an amorphous experience remains. In rigid orthodoxy truth is frozen into a formula or credo. But there is hope that it can be brought back to life."

A tribute to Bloesch can be found here.Link
