“All these things that still characterise us today can be recognised, identified with and learned about in the Bible, where they are set in relation to the purposes of a good, sovereign and trustworthy God.”

“Rather, he meant that the gospel only made sense to him, and he only dared believe such an astonishing account of what human life and destiny really is, because of the persuasive power of faithful lives that had shown something of what the gospel means.”

“The Bible's language and images have been constantly used, set in fresh contexts and appropriated in the life and liturgies of believing communities down the ages.”

“The most important truth cannot be known unless one is willing to engage it with one’s whole person – the responsive heart, the believing mind, the faithful action.”
