The Bible - Various Quotes

"If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plough shall know more of the Scripture than thou dost" William Tyndale to a Roman Priest.

"Clearness in the pulpit is good sense in the pew. Mysticism in the pulpit is nonsense in the pew. The absence of exposition from the pulpit is ignorance of the Bible in the power." Austin Phelps from The Theory of Preaching

"If the Bible be an inspired volume, it is inspired for a purpose. If inspired for a purpose, it is divinely fitted to that purpose. If fitted to that purpose, it is a compendium of the truths most necessary to the world in all time. The world will always need it, and will need the whole of it. As a unit, it will be as fresh to the last man as to you and to me." Austin Phelps The Theory of Preaching
