There are few things stressed more strongly in the Bible than the reality of God's work as Judge.

Many humanists in the West are stirred by a sense of outrage at what professed Christians, past and present, have done; and this makes them see their humanism as a kind of crusade, with the killing of Christianity as its prime goal.

He has in effect resolved that henceforth for all eternity his happiness shall be conditional upon ours.
