- "Think About It" quotation from the latest Berea Page: “So long as a man confines his ideas of Christ to a rather misty hero figure of long ago who died a tragic death, and so long as his ideas of Christianity are bounded by what he calls the Sermon on the Mount (which he has almost certainly not read in its entirety since he became grown-up), then the living truth never has a chance to touch him. This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people.… For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined." ~ J. B. Phillips. 1967. Ring of Truth: A Translator’s Testimony. The Macmillan Company, 16
- "Additional Thoughts on James" quotation from the latest Opening the Scriptures: “James follows Jesus in locating the heart of the law in the twin commands to love God and neighbor (cf. Gal. 5:14). James also emphasizes—as did Jesus—the singular importance of congruity between profession of one’s faith in God and expression of love for one’s neighbor, with an emphasis on the expression of that love in the merciful, charitable, and humble stance one takes with respect to others. In fact, it can easily be argued that the links between the ethic of James and the teaching of Jesus are as strong as, if not stronger than, those between any other document of the NT and the traditions of Jesus.” ~ Paul J. Achtemeier, Joel B. Green, and Marianne Meye Thompson. 2001. Introducing the New Testament: Its Literature and Theology. William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 503
