Here a few quotables from Victor Shepherd in an interview with the July-August 2008 issue of Faith Today:
“Jesus doesn’t belong to the left or to the right. He’s preoccupied rather with the kingship of God. He’s concerned with upholding the Old Testament, which is full of references to the horror of poverty and the fact that poverty ought not to exist at all among God’s people.”
“The New Testament is preoccupied with a cosmic power struggle and money is regarded, by far, as the biggest spiritual threat.”
“The opposite of love is not hatred. The opposite of love is indifference.”
“Under capitalism people devour people. Under communism it’s the other way around.” (Quote from Emil Fackenheim)
“Any dialogue that comes out of a conversation beteen capitalism and communism still has an entirely naturalistic future. And, as a naturalistic future, it still doesn’t represent the Kingdom of God. Therefore it isn’t the long-term solution to anything.”
