Hippolytus Quotes

“HIPPOLYTUS: I can't sin against a God I don't believe in.”
― Sarah Kane, Phaedra's Love

“When one gets to Clement or Hippolytus, we are clearly a long way from what we find in Paul and the Gospels, where the influence of the Passover is still strongly present and the meal is seen as a family meal, taken in the home, a memorial meal to remember Jesus’ death until his return...Here then is a cautionary reminder — the less Jewish the approach one takes to the Lord’s Supper, the more likely one is to be wrong about one’s assessment of what is the case about the elements.”
― Ben Witherington III, Making a Meal of It: Rethinking the Theology of the Lord's Supper
