William Faulkner, is that you?

I'm pretty sure that theologians are the wordiest of all writers. Sentences last for days in these books.

For example:
"The task is important, since the Pentecostal emphasis on the indwelling Spirit and our participation in Christ's person and work through consecration and mission have ecumenical relevance in an era in which discussions over soteriology are attempting to move beyond the impasse between the anthropocentric Catholic emphasis on graced human cooperation with God and the theocentric but lifeless declaration of righteousness in Christ."

Yeah, that's right-- you're only seeing one period there. Sheesh!
