The Excellency of the Knowledge of Christ in the Excellence of its Subject
Philippians 3:8
Yes doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord…


If the real worth and dignity of our knowledge in any department depend on the subject to which our thoughts are directed, it were easy to show that the religious peasant may find a nobler subject of thought in the structure of a flower, than the irreligious philosopher finds in the structure of a world!

(J. Buchanan, D. D.)
