Quotes by Peter J. Williams  (?)

“Thus, all four Gospels present us with a teacher who, just like about every other teacher in history, said the same things multiple times. Why think up an epigram like "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Matt. 7:1 ESV; cf. Luke 6:37), a saying like the Golden Rule (Matt. 7:12; Luke 6:31), or a story as captivating as Luke 15:11-32, and use it only once?”
Peter J. Williams, The Surprising Genius of Jesus: What the Gospels Reveal about the Greatest Teacher

“Esau had reason to be angry, but he responded warmly to his brother's return. If even a person like Esau, who had previously planned to murder his brother, could accept his returning brother, how much more should the older son accept his brother?”
Peter J. Williams, The Surprising Genius of Jesus: What the Gospels Reveal about the Greatest Teacher

“Jesus, of course, does not criticize conscientious work, but he does criticize an attitude common among those who work most diligently... Self-righteousness can come easily to the hard worker.”
