Christian Discourse: Rhetoric, Society and Ideology, Dr. Vernon K. Robbins, London:
Routledge, 1996.
- "Elaboration, then, is a mode of argumentation central to early Christian discourse. Without this kind of intertextual argument, it is doubtful that Christianity would have become a powerful alternative to other Jewish groups at the time."

- "Several years ago, I was visiting a Trappist monastery with a former brother of that community. During the prayers of the people, my companion asked prayer for "My friend Di and her ministry of healing." At lunch, several other guests asked me about my work. They were shocked to learn that I am a medical doctor. It is an interesting reflection on the semantics of health and medicine in our times that they did not expect a healer to be a doctor."

"We
Believe in Divine Judgment," Georgia Harkness, Chapter 12 in Beliefs
That Count, 1961. At Religion Online.
- "Man, whose earthly existence is so brief and uncertain, has nevertheless eternity set in his heart by the Creator. The words of Jesus and His resurrection from the dead bring to us the assurance that for the Christian death shall be swallowed up in victory. God is eternal, Jesus is the conqueror of the grave, and we, being united by faith with Him, share His everlasting life. Death is a doorway from a natural world into a spiritual world. Behind the thin veil that conceals from our human eyes the Blessed Country there stands One who has gone to prepare a place for us and who will one day receive us unto Himself in eternal glory. Heaven is the perfect companionship of the believer with Christ, and death is but a transition into the deeper fellowship of His nearer presence."
