Quotes by Samuel Escobar (?)

“while Jews, Christians and Muslims are all “people of the book,” only Christians have given themselves to extensive translation of their book.”

“According to Shank, Mennonites have learned much from the AICS. He lists six lessons: (1) the faith of the powerful is irrelevant, and mission has to be characterized by servanthood, (2) the gospel is a source of liberating power, (3) faith is a spiritual combat, (4) the Western interpretation of Scripture is not the final word, (5) God is experienced as an awe-inspiring divine mystery and (6) the power of the faith community is in the laity.”

“Because of my experience in Latin America I never had a provincial attitude toward my Pentecostal brothers and sisters. Their zeal for evangelism and a holy life was vital in the development of evangelical student work in my part of the world. My difficulty was with Christians from the older European liturgical churches. Could the Holy Spirit really be at work in them? However, I have had to meet the opposite kind of provincialism from old, liturgical established churches that find it difficult to believe that the Holy Spirit may be at work in the noisy, exuberant forms of worship and evangelism practiced by Pentecostal or independent churches in the Southern Hemisphere, or among the poor and marginalized peoples in North America and Europe.”
