Quotes

Jesus preached permanent revolution of the self. For a follower of Christ there can be no end to the self-scrutiny, and no end to the discovery of self-love masquerading as holiness. If Jesus keeps his lofty status as prime American cultural hero in centuries to come, it will be for two reasons: because so many Christians find him useful as a means of congratulating themselves, and because so many find him indispensable as a critic of their self-congratulation.
Richard Wrightman Fox, Jesus in America - Personal Savior, Cultural Hero, National Obsession, HarperSanFrancisco
