Paul the Apostle is a significant figure in the New Testament of the Christian Bible, considered one of the founding figures of Christianity. He is believed to have been a follower of Jesus Christ and a key figure in spreading the Christian faith. Paul's life was marked by his transformation from a Pharisee who actively persecuted Christians to a devoted follower of Jesus. He dedicated himself to spreading Christianity throughout the Greek and Roman worlds, and his writings, including numerous letters in the New Testament, have had a profound impact on the development of Christian doctrine. more

“The words are few, and the sentence short; no one in Scripture so short. But it fareth with Sentences as with coynes: In coines, they that in smallest compasse conteine greatest value, are best esteemed: and, in sentences, those that in fewest words comprise most matter, are most praised. Which, as of all sentences it is true; so specially of those that are marked with Memento. In them, the shorter the better; the better, and the better carried away, and the better kept; and the better called for when we need it. And such is this here; of rich contents, and with all exceeding compendious: So that, we must needs be without all excuse, it being but three words, and but five syllables, if we doe not remember it.”

“And these explanations of the sacred scriptures are delivered by mystic expressions in allegories, for the whole of the law appears to these men to resemble a living animal, and its express commandments seem to be the body, and the invisible meaning concealed under and lying beneath the plain words resembles the soul, in which the rational soul begins most excellently to contemplate what belongs to itself, as in a mirror, beholding in these very words the exceeding beauty of the sentiments, and unfolding and explaining the symbols, and bringing the secret meaning naked to the light to all who are able by the light of a slight intimation to perceive what is unseen by what is visible.”

“Girls, I’m going to cook your noodle with this one, but believe it or not, there is story after story in God’s word of people being rejected by others. We hear that the Bible is a book of rules, but truly it is a love story of God’s great love for us all, including those who are rejected by man. Jesus himself was rejected by the very people he came to save. But he gave of himself anyway.”

“Taggart Transcontinental, thought Eddie Willers, From Ocean to Ocean — the proud slogan of his childhood, so much more shining and holy than any commandment of the Bible. From Ocean to Ocean, forever — thought Eddie Willers, in the manner of a rededication, as he walked through the spotless halls into the heart of the building, into the office of James Taggart, President of Taggart Transcontinental.”

“Lomeli si svegliò con una sensazione di catastrofe incombente in un angolo remoto della sua testa, come se tutte le sue ansie fossero attorcigliate su se stesse, pronte a saltargli addosso nell'attimo in cui fosse stato completamente sveglio. Andò in bagno e cercò di scacciarle con un'altra doccia bollente. Ma quando si mise davanti allo specchio per radersi erano ancora lì, in agguato, alle sue spalle.”

“..they force their readers into a challenging dialogue with earlier works. They defence the reader's right to argue - with the text, with the tradition, and even with the deity. In so doing, they validate, and give voice to those who struggle with the perennial problem of the theodicy that arose from the new covenantal order.”
