“So now that the pretense of neutrality has been more or less abandoned, and is on its way to being forgotten, what is the substance of the perspective (or ideology or, perhaps, religion) that is now fully exposed to view—and not merely to the view of its critics? And what shall we call it? In the book you are now reading, Steven Smith sets for himself the task of describing and analyzing it, and he gives it a name: paganism.”
Steven D. Smith, Pagans and Christians in the City: Culture Wars from the Tiber to the Potomac (Emory University Studies in Law and Religion

“But the divine dayspring from on high is adored, Christ the Lord, who is our sun and shield; the sun of every blessing, asserting the glory of religion; the shield of the most safe protection, affording an invincible and inexpugnable guard to liberty.”
Francis Turretin, Institutes of Elenctic Theology

“Nonsense remains nonsense, even when talked by world-famous scientists.”

Benjamin L. Gladd
“THE CHURCH AS TRUE ISRAEL The church falls in continuity with the people of God throughout the history of redemption. We are not an aberration or a parenthesis in God’s program. The story of the people of God in the Old Testament is our story. Abraham is our father. Indeed, he is a closer father than our biological father (see Mark 3:34)! When we read the Old Testament we should do so not as observers but as participants. One of the hallmarks of dispensationalism is to drive a wedge between Israel and the church. But such a move runs counter to so much of what we discover in the New Testament. There is one people of God spanning both Testaments. As we remind ourselves of who we are in Christ, we must do so in light of what the Bible says in the Old Testament as well as the New.”
Benjamin L. Gladd, From Adam and Israel to the Church: A Biblical Theology of the People of God

“THE ONE WHO KNEW said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Happy, that is, are those people who know that their spirituality is small, that their creeds are imperfect, that their instruction concerning God and man is incomplete. Happy are those who know that they do not know all of truth. For only those who admit their spiritual poverty are willing to learn.”
Agnes Sanford, The Healing Light
