“Far too many people have used the Bible like a medical student uses a cadaver.  They examine it, dissect it, perform surgery on it, familiarize themselves with it, and learn its distinctive qualities.  But as that future doctor cannot give life to that dead piece of humanity, so these people never get the Word alive in their life.  They somehow fail to remember that the people who hated Jesus most were biblical scholars and had Scriptures over their door posts, strapped to their bodies, and quoted chapters of it when their narrow-minded interpretation supported their warped views.”
