Early Christian Letters for Everyone Quotes

“Here is the irony: Christians are supposed to stand out as distinctive, but when we do, and are mocked or criticized for it, we are tempted to mock and criticize right back – and then we are no longer distinctive, because we are behaving just like everyone else! Another victory for the hostile world: when Christians ‘give as good as they get’, repaying slander with slander, they are colluding with the surrounding world, just as surely as if they went along with immorality or financial corruption.”
― Tom Wright, Early Christian Letters for Everyone
