"According to the Gospels, Christianity is not a system of neo-platonic
philosophy lodged inside a Jewish casing; Christianity is not German
existentialism waiting to be set free from its religious mythology;
Christianity is not a conservative or liberal political program looking
for legitimation in religious tracts; rather, the Gospels show that
Christianity is about following Jesus the Christ. Finally, the Gospels
are reminders that the words and deeds of Jesus must be uppermost in the
minds, hearts, prayers, thoughts, and devotion of the church. The
Gospels urge that those who bear Christ’s name must be willing to
believe in him and to follow him, through Galilee and Judea, through
Gethsemane and Golgotha, through to the empty tomb and one day into the
kingdom of heaven." -- Michael Bird
