Questioning Christianity Quotes

“What is so enigmatic about Jesus is how soft He was toward sinners, even though He never soft-pedalled sin. He lived up to the prophecy made about Him, that a bruised reed He would not break and a smoldering wick He would not snuff out. Still, His central message represented a profound challenge: Repent. Give up any allegiance to the snake and to sin and realign with the dawning reality where God again is king.”
― Dan Paterson, Questioning Christianity: Is There More to the Story?

“Perhaps one of the most unique and striking elements of the Christian story is that it is not merely religious philosophy or ideology, for its central claims are based on historical events that can be investigated and verified. That Jesus is history is what makes the gospel good news rather than simply a good idea. Christians believe that the One who made the world has left His historical footprint on it. And just like the first eyewitnesses, you are invited to investigate His claims, starting with the carefully preserved stories that make up our New Testament sources.”
