- | "Even if thou wouldst deny the miracles of the [[New Testament]], still thou canst not deny that the victory of that [[the gospel|Evangel]] was in itself a miracle. A little troop of unprotected men pressed into the great [[Roman world]], defying both its satellites and its sages, and triumphed by the [[Word]] alone. But what a Word! Dry and crumbling [[heathenism]] shook and was shattered by the words and voice of these foreign men and women, who announced a new [[kingdom of heaven]], and feared nothing in the old world, not the claws of [[wild beasts]], nor the wrath of wilder men, nor fire or sword — for they themselves were the fire and sword -- sword and fire, of [[God]]."--"[[The Gods in Exile]]" (1853) by Heinrich Heine | + | |
