“Revelation is, as its Greek title implies, apocalyptic-not in the modern sense of "catastrophic" but in the ancient sense of "unveiling, disclosing" in vivid, visual form the invisible realities and forces that drive and therefore explain the course of observable historical events.”
― Dennis E. Johnson, Triumph of the Lamb: A Commentary on Revelation

“All men have their presuppositions; none is neutral. Shall your presuppositions be the teachings of Christ or the vain deception against which Paul warns? Choose this day whom ye shall serve!”
― Greg L. Bahnsen, Always Ready: Directions for Defending the Faith

“Christians are called to be Bible interpreters, but our interpretations must not be based simply on “what I want the Bible to say.” We need God’s Spirit to discipline our reading of Scripture.”
― John P. Burgess, Confessing Our Faith: The Book of Confessions for Church Leaders

“Freedom of thought in the middle ages was combated by the Inquisition, but the modern method is far more effective. Place the lives of children in their formative years, despite the convictions of their parents, under the intimate control of experts appointed by the state, force them then to attend schools where the higher aspirations of humanity are crushed out, and where the mind is filled with the materialism of the day, and it is difficult to see how even the remnants of liberty can subsist.”
― J. Gresham Machen, Christianity and Liberalism
