Stanley Hauerwas Quotes
Another hallmark of Christianity is that salvation is not individualistic-it's not something one person receives for himself or herself. Salvation is the reign of God.

But without an understanding that salvation is the reign of God, the need for the church to mediate salvation makes no sense at all.
