Palmoni: The Numerals of Scripture by Milo Mahan
“The Bible to the early church was not a book merely; it was… a living creature (infused) in every part with a mysterious, manifold and superabundant life… And as a Divine work differs from a human chiefly in those minutia which lie beneath the surface… so, the early Christians argued, it must be with the Divine Word. They confidently expected to see “wondrous things” in it. And the more closely they scrutinized it, the more marks of the supernatural they professed to see therein.

Was The Apostle Peter Ever At Rome? by Mason Gallagher
“The vast body of enlightened scholarship outside the Roman communion decisively reject the claim that Peter lived and labored in Rome, and consider the statement too improbable to be believed… learned lawyers have thoroughly investigated the subject, and discover no evidence that is reliable, and likewise numerous Roman Catholic authors assert that Peter lived and labored in the East.”

The Benediction - by William H. Dolbeer
“When the minister comes from the altar, he must not forget that he now bears a message from the Lord to the waiting congregation. It is not a prayer; it is not man’s word; it is in no sense a subordinate act. It is the Lord’s own explicit word, and man is the entrusted messenger.”

The Doctrine of Justification by Matthias Loy
“Human reason and inclination are always in their natural state averse to the doctrine of Justification by Faith. Hence it is no wonder that earth and hell combine in persistent efforts to banish it from the Church and from the world.” — Matthias Loy

Creation Centered in Christ by Henry Grattan Guinness
“The triumph of Christianity over Paganism was followed by the rise of Free Thought in the Middle Ages, and the return to the primitive faith which characterized the Reformation was succeeded by the reactionary wave of infidelity which rolled over Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries.” - H Grattan Guinness from “Faith and Free Thought”

The Six Days Of Creation, The Fall, And The Deluge by J B Remensnyder
“This weightiest chapter ever penned by Inspiration yields up its lessons best when literally understood, and when explained by the laws of common sense. “The secret of recent assaults upon the Bible is the restiveness of the modern spirit… so eager is the desire for anything new, that even the destruction of all that is precious and venerable is hailed on account of the morbid excitement thereby aroused. …these extremists are so irrational in their hate of the old that they would rather that the edifice of Revelation should be crumbled to the earth, and that the immortal hopes of mankind should be reduced to wreck, than that they should be immutably fixed upon the pillar and ground of the past.” — J. B. Remensnyder
