Several were saved for the sake of Euripides, whose poetry, it appears, was in request among the Sicilians more than among any of the settlers out of Greece. And when any travelers arrived that could tell them some passage, or give them any specimen of his verses, they were delighted to be able to communicate them to one another. Many of the captives who got safe back to Athens are said, after they reached home, to have gone and made their acknowledgments to Euripides, relati

All this granted, much remains. The contradictions are of minutiae, not substance; in essentials the synoptic gospels agree remarkably well, and form a consistent portrait of Christ. In the enthusiasm of its discoveries the Higher Criticism has applied to the New Testament test of authenticity so severe that by them a hundred ancient worthies-e.g., Hammurabi, David, Socrates-would fade into legend. Despite the prejudices and theological preconceptions of the evangelists, they

The Anabaptist Balthasar Hubmaier gives a personal testimony. He became a priest in the Roman Catholic Church and a leading scholar without ever reading the New Testament directly:

Among evangelicals in England, Dr. Ironside was well known as one of the great preachers in the world, though I don't think he was ever ordained. He had been a Brethren and had been a missionary to the Native Americans in Arizona and New Mexico, and he knew the Bible better than anybody I think I ever met. I remember sitting beside him once at the Moody Church, where he was to speak at a Youth for Christ meeting. He went sound asleep and began to snore, and when it was his ti

In all his later labors as educator, linguist, evangelist, reformer, and missionary statesman, he never lost his love for people. In a letter to John Stranger, a Baptist pastor in Kent who had been present at his ordination, Carey set forth his ideal of the Christian ministry and the motive of his own pastoral work.

The Divine Scriptures that are accepted and those that are not.

The Epistles of the Apostles.

Wherefore neither the conspiracy of Simon nor that of any of the others who arose at that period could accomplish anything in those apostolic times. For everything was conquered and subdued by the splendors of the truth and by the divine word itself which had but lately begun to shine from heaven upon men, and which was then flourishing upon earth, and dwelling in the apostles themselves.

Eusebius uses Daniel 9 and the prophecy of the Seventy Sevens as a proof for Christ:

This obscure family of ours was early in the reformation, and continued Protestants through reign of Queen Mary, when they were sometimes in danger of trouble on account of their zeal against popery. They had got an English Bible, and to conceal and secure it, it was fastened open with tapes under and within the cover of a joint-stool. When my great-great-grandfather read it to his family, he turned up the joint-stool upon his knees, turning over the leaves then under the tap

XII.13 A. I now have proved that the Grace after Meals rests upon the authority of Scripture. How may I show that the same foundation sustains the requirement to say a blessing over Torah-study?

VI.2 A. Our rabbis have taught on Tannaite authority:

I.17 A. Said R. Hanina, “I saw Rabbi [Judah the Patriarch] hang up his phylacteries [on a peg]
