Paul, by Mark
Strom, Intervarsity Press, 2000.
 | "There is a strong link here
between Paul’s longing, his almost reckless candor about himself,
and his sense of freedom. He understood himself as having been made
a ‘slave’ to Christ, and of having been set free from the
bondage of sin and death. This was not abstract theologizing." |

"Hearts
Untroubled," Diane M. Komp, Theology Today, 1988.
| "A mother once confided that
until her own son developed leukemia, she had never known a
seriously ill child. Her eyes were opened in the hospital to the
vast and varied problems that can afflict our very young. She could
only conclude either that they had all been previously hidden in
some closet or her own view of the world was too narrow and
protected." |
