“Religion is concerned with man’s relation to God, and man has no right to determine the nature of this relation. It is God’s prerogative to specify how man should be related to Him, and He does this in His divine Word.”
― Louis Berkhof, Manual of Christian Doctrine

“The miracles of Scripture, too, culminate in the incarnation, which is the greatest and most central miracle of all. In Christ, who is the absolute miracle, all things are restored and creation is brought back to its pristine beauty, Acts 3:21.”
― Louis Berkhof, Manual of Christian Doctrine

“There is a constant coming of God to man in theophany, prophecy, and miracle, and this coming reaches its highest point in the incarnation of the Son of God and in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Church.”
― Louis Berkhof, Manual of Christian Doctrine

“Because of the widespread illiteracy during the period of the Reformation, catechesis often took place in face-to-face discussion. This is why “Luther intended his catechism to target primarily pastors, but also parents, and other ‘opinion makers’ who would in turn share the teachings of the catechism orally with children and illiterate members of the household.”
― Justin S. Holcomb, Know the Creeds and Councils
