Philip Schaff

The apostolic writings are of three kinds: historical, didactic, and prophetic.

To the first class belong the Gospels and Acts; to the second, the Epistles; to the third, the Revelation.

Jesus Christ is the beginning, the middle, and the end of all. In the Gospels he walks in human form upon the earth, and accomplishes the work of redemption.

I was raised in the Baptist church... but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

Imagine a world alive with incomprehensible objects, and shimmering with an endless variety of movement and innumerable gradations of colour. Imagine a world before the 'beginning was the word.'
