Robert Farrar Capon
“The poor man may envy the rich their houses, their lands, and their cars; but given a good wife, he rarely envies them their table.”
Robert Farrar Capon, The Supper of the Lamb: A Culinary Reflection

Ronald Rolheiser
“As adult Christians today we often find ourselves living in that time between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, when the God we were raised on has been crucified but a sense of the resurrection has not yet sufficiently illumined our imaginations so that we can recognize the God who is walking beside us.”
Ronald Rolheiser, Sacred Fire: A Vision for a Deeper Human and Christian Maturity

J.I. Packer
“How can we turn our knowledge about God into knowledge of God? The rule for doing this is simple but demanding. It is that we turn each Truth that we learn about God into matter for meditation before God, leading to prayer and praise to God.”
J.I. Packer, Knowing God

Matthew W. Bates
“Only regarding the Spirit. Paul says that this appointment as Son-of-God-in-Power “pertains to the Spirit of Holiness.” On the basis of Old Testament evidence and the Dead Sea Scrolls, most scholars agree that “Spirit of Holiness” was a Hebraic way of referring to the Holy Spirit.”
Matthew W. Bates, Gospel Allegiance: What Faith in Jesus Misses for Salvation in Christ

Richard Bauckham
“One intriguing piece of evidence suggests that Jesus may in fact have worked on the family farm as well as practising carpentry. Hegesippus, a 2nd-century writer, preserves the information that two grandsons of Jesus’ brother Judas were peasant farmers sharing a farm whose precise size was remembered. This must have been the family smallholding in Nazareth. The fact that they owned it jointly indicates that this family still followed the rather old-fashioned practice of not dividing the farm but keeping it as the common property of the extended family. Since Joseph had to provide for at least seven children (Jesus, his four brothers, and two or more sisters), he may well have taken up carpentry only to supplement the inadequate produce of the family farm. For this purpose, there would have been enough work within Nazareth.”
Richard Bauckham, Jesus: A Very Short Introduction
