Additional quotes by Frederick Buechner

Theology, like fiction, is largely autobiographical.

"The incarnation is "a kind of vast joke whereby the Creator of the ends of the earth comes among us in diapers... Until we too have taken the idea of the God-man seriously enough to be scandalized by it, we have not taken it as seriously as it demands to be taken.

Thus, when you wake up in the morning, called by God to be a self again, if you want to know who you are, watch your feet. Because where your feet take you, that is who you are.

This side of Nirvana, there is no such escape for any of us as far as I know. - Frederick Buechner
