“Because of the widespread illiteracy during the period of the Reformation, catechesis often took place in face-to-face discussion.

― Justin S. Holcomb, Know the Creeds and Councils

“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

― Michael S. Horton, Introducing Covenant Theology
