“Nicodemus, the secret believer, was not to be emulated, but John the Baptist was.” (Page 321)
“His purpose is practical, to present a series of tests whereby his readers can determine the genuineness of their own faith. ‘The testing of your faith’ (1:3) seems to be the key which James left hanging at the front door, intended to unlock the contents of the book. This writer proposes that tests of a living faith is indeed the unifying theme of the epistle and that it provides ready access to its contents.” (Page 224)
“Synthesizing the best from the above interpretations, it may be concluded that the uncovered and therefore insubordinate woman would offend the angels because they are the custodians of the created order. Moreover, such insubordination would occur in the sight of those whom the saints will judge (1 Cor. 6:3), an unthinkable incongruity.” (Page 54)
“In Rome no ceremonies of a legal character were required to form a valid marriage” (Page 246)
“It is plain, therefore, that no case can be constructed from the Gospel of John that a faith resting on signs is ineffectual or unregenerating. On the contrary, the signs function as aids to faith and are interwoven into the narrative for that very purpose. On the other hand, it is equally plain that those who exercise faith apart from actually seeing these signs are deserving of special commendation and it would hardly be surprising if such persons were more prepared for further illumination than those to whom faith came only in response to visible miracles.” (Page 142)
