“The God of the basics, the God who cares about the management of the household is its creator, liberator, and sustainer.” (McFague, 143)

“The radically transcendent and radically immanent God is the source of everything that is, the power that frees creation from what destroys it, and the love that nourishes it in every moment.” (MaFague, 143)

“The Trinity (God, son & Holy Spirit) is an attempt to express the full dimension of the experience of God as the One in whom we live and move and have our being; the one from whom we come, to whom we return, and in whose presence we live every minute; the one who is more alone than we are as Martin Buber puts it in the beginning is relationship.” (McFague, 143)

“If we see the world as profane, as a place to buy and sell, use and discard, control and possess, we will treat it differently, than if we see it as hidden in God. (McFague, 181)

“If we see ourselves and everything else is having its being and fulfilment in, through, and with God, we can no longer treat each other and the earth itself in a utilitarian way. We belong to God, everyone and everything does! We are hidden in God poised to emerge as reflections of divine glory. The glory of God is every creature fully alive.” McFague, 181

“How should Christians live in the world? Surely as advocates and examples of a just and sustainable planet. How can we have a liberation theology one that will help release from being oppressors of the poor and of the planet?” McFague, 181-82)
