There is no question that Israelis - indeed, all concerned Jews - have to continue to work out a Jewish public philosophy that truly justifies a Jewish state in the land of Israel.

The Vatican's recognition of the State of Israel in 1997 could not have occurred without John Paul's leadership.

Theological reflection takes place within history, but the history within which it takes place is an ongoing, open-ended process.

We Jews who willingly and happily confirm our covenantal status and its attendant rights and duties must take the question of mission seriously: either to accept it or reject it knowingly and with conviction.

When the game is finished, it's completely finished. I'm with my kids. Sometimes people say to me, 'Oh, did you see the game?' and I say, 'No, I didn't see the game'. I watch if my friends are playing or my brothers. But not always.

It's kind of a weird thing when you've been at the top of a division you've been in your entire career to kind of take a backseat because of friendship.

True faith is focused in and on the Lord Jesus Christ and always leads to action.

For me, faith is more about aspiration than complacency - the smug satisfaction that other people find distasteful.
