Book Quotes

“we are so hardened to the story that is easy for us to forget how explosive and truly revolutionary the Christian faith was in the ancient Mediterranean world. The church at first had no buildings, no separated clergy, no set ritual, no bishops, no Pope, yet it succeeded in turning life upside down for millions of unknown men and women, giving them a new sense of life's meaning and superb courage in the face of persecution and sorrow. it is our tragedy that we are living in a day when much of this primal force is spent. Our temper is so different that we hardly understand what the New testament writers are saying. Once a church what's a brave and revolutionary fellowship, changing the course of history by the introduction of discordant ideas; today it is a place where people go and sit uncomfortable benches, waiting patiently until time to go home to their Sunday dinners.”
