Second Sunday in Easter

‘I have spent a lot of time searching through the Bible for loopholes.’


- W.C. Fields




‘No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says; he is always convinced that it says what he means.’


- George Bernard Shaw




‘Every verse in the Bible is virtually a concrete faith-event in my own life….I have been personally present and have shared in the crossing of Israel through the Red Sea but also in the adoration of the golden calf, in the baptism of Jesus but also in the denial of Peter and the treachery of Judas….And we shall have to answer this question alone: whether, after the Word of God has sought to provide us with this movement and meaning, we have perhaps evaded it?’


- Karl Barth
