"In our postmodern culture which is TV dominated, image sensitive, and morally vacuous, personality is everything and character is increasingly irrelevant."
— David F. Wells (No Place for Truth or Whatever Happened to Evangelical Theology?)

"What is to be gained if we are so intent in reaching out to the unchurched that we then unchurch the reached?"
— David F. Wells (The Courage to Be Protestant: Truth-lovers, Marketers, and Emergents in the Postmodern World)

"In fact, when we listen to the church today, at least in the West, we are often left with impression that Christianity actually has very little to do with truth. Christianity is only about feeling better about ourselves, about leaping over our difficulties, about being more satisfied, about have better relationships, about getting on with our mothers-in-law, about understanding teenage rebellion, about coping with our unreasonable bosses, about finding greater sexual satisfaction, about getting rich, about receiving our own private miracles, and much else besides. It is about everything except truth. And yet this truth, personally embodied in Christ, gives us a place to stand in order to deal with the complexities of life, such as broken relations, teenage rebellion, and job insecurities. "
— David F. Wells
