20th-Century Theology Quotes

“John Locke, rejecting a central thesis of Cartesian philosophy, argued that the mind was a tabula rasa, an empty vessel devoid of any innate ideas. As a result, it is passive in the knowing process. It simply receives "impressions" from the external world through the senses and then formulates ideas from the impressions it has gathered.”
― Stanley J. Grenz, 20th-Century Theology: God and the World in a Transitional Age
