“Man the sinner needs someone who will redemptively represent him; he needs someone who will reveal God to him; and he needs someone who, with authority and effect, will rule over him. In other words, man needs a priest, a prophet, and a king: a priest to represent him before God; a prophet to reveal God to him; and a king to take control of, and to rule in and over the whole kingdom of his life.” (Page 30)

“In general, by synthesis is meant the putting together of parts or elements so as to make up a complex whole; a constructing of something new out of existing materials.” (Page 21)

“This truth may be presented under various figures. The revelation of the Bible begins in a Garden, and ends in a City, and the record of the slow progress from simplicity to complexity lies between. In Genesis are origins; in Revelation are issues; and from Exodus to Jude are processes. The redemptive revelation is initial before Christ; is central in Christ; and is final from Christ. It has a starting-point, a track, and a goal. The Temple of Truth is upreared from its foundation to its consummation by its glorious superstructure, in which are beauty of conception, unity of plan, harmony of parts, and growth towards completion.” (Page 22)

“Christian leadership must know its Bible better than any other book’. Bread is baked, not for analysis but for consumption. A house is built, not to be surveyed and criticised but to be inhabited. The Bible is given to us that we might know God, and live the life of His plan for us.” (Page 17)

“ is the people’s Book as inheritance, and should be theirs as possession” (Page 17)
