'The heroes and heroines of our time, more often than not, are portrayed in full oratorical spate, with their mouths furiously open and shutting and their arms furiously gesticulating. Jesus is a silent hero; if he is portrayed with his mouth open [...] it is in groaning, not orating. He is the anti-demagogue, the lord of silence and suffering." p.144+
