God's love in John 3:16 is not amazing because the world is so big, but because the world is so bad.

Good praying is more easily caught than taught.

Both God's love and God's wrath are ratcheted up in the move from the old covenant to the new, from the Old Testament to the New. These themes barrel along through redemptive history, unresolved, until they come to a resounding climax - in the cross.

There is a certain kind of maturity that can be attained only through the discipline of suffering.

Some Christians want enough of Christ to be identified with him but not enough to be seriously inconvenienced.

The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.

I suspect that relatively few people will sit down and read 1250 pages [ of The Enduring Authority of the Christian Scriptures.] all the way through from cover to cover. There may be some, but not everybody. But there are many, many, many different Christian, theological, pastoral, specialisms that are covered by one section or another of the book and this will become, therefore, a resource volume for many people.
