Quotes

  • He who with his whole heart believes in Jesus as the Son of God is thereby committed to much else besides. He is committed to a view of God, to a view of man, to a view of sin, to a view of Redemption, to a view of the purpose of God in creation and history, to a view of human destiny found only in Christianity.
    • The Christian View of God and the World as Centering in the Incarnation, 2nd ed. (Edinburgh: Andrew Elliot, 1893) Lecture I, pp. 4-5. Quoted in Millard J. Erickson, Christian Theology, 3rd ed. (Grand Rapids, MI: BakerAcademic, 2013) p. 6
