“ Whatever one generation learns from another, it can never learn from a predecessor the genuinely human factor. In this respect every generation begins afresh, has no task other than that of any previous generation, and comes no further, provided the latter didn't shirk its task and deceive itself. This authentically human factor is passion, in which the one generation also fully understands the other and understands itself. Thus no generation has learned from another how to love, no generation can begin other than at the beginning, the task of no later generation is shorter than its predecessor's, and if someone, unlike the previous generation, is unwilling to stay with love but wants to go further, then that is simply idle and foolish talk. ...more ” — Søren Kierkegaard

“ But man has such a predilection for systems and abstract deductions that he is ready to distort the truth intentionally, he is ready to deny the evidence of his senses only to justify his logic. ” — Fyodor Dostoevsky

Michael O'Brien liked Philip Tadros's review of Dictionary of Biblical Tradition in English Literature:
Dictionary of Biblical Tradition in English Literature by David Lyle Jeffrey
"A splendid, delightful volume. You may wish to use it as you read your Bible or as you contemplate the impact of biblical ideas on our culture. It will enriched your understanding, broaden your horizons, and expand your imagination. You won’t regret adding this to your bookshelf. Unfortunately no e-book format available. Also, I wish it had an index of biblical references. Still: 5/5."
