Emily Katz Anhalt, Enraged: Why Violent Times Need Ancient Greek Myths

“This one quotation could really serve as the emblem of this chapter: an artisan, who was touched by a neighbor, by a printed Bible in French, and above all by the Psalms.”
William L. Holladay, The Psalms Through Three Thousand Years: Prayerbook of a Cloud of Witnesses

“Those who ask ‘What was God doing before he made heaven and earth?’ are still steeped in error which they should have discarded.”
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
