William F. Albright
"There is only one way out of the apparent impasse: we must return again to the Bible and draw new strength from the sources of Judeo-Christian faith. Like John the Baptist and Jesus, who turned back to the Prophets of Israel for inspiration, and like the great Reformers, who sought guidance from the Word of God, so must we reconstruct our religious thought on Biblical foundations. To all who believe in the eternal value of the Old and New Testaments, it is clear that God has been preparing the way for a revival of basic Christianity through enlightened faith in His Word."
Paul Tillich
"Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt."
John Wesley Work Jr.
"When I was a seeker / I sought both night and day / I asked the Lord to help me / And he showed me the way"

G.K. Chesterton
"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried."
