«Christ does not save us by acting a parable of divine love; he acts the parable of divine love by saving us. That is the Christian faith.»
«Jesus of Nazareth could have chosen simply to express Himself in moral precepts; but like a great poet He chose the form of the parable, wonderful short stories that entertained and clothed the moral precept in an eternal form.
