The only alternative to tradition is bad tradition
Jaroslav Pelikan
Jesus Christ is too important to be left to the theologians.
Jaroslav Pelikan
Regardless of what anyone may personally think or believe about him, Jesus of Nazareth has been the dominant figure in the history of western culture for almost twenty centuries... It is from his birth that most of the human race dates its calendars, it is by his name that millions curse and in his name that millions pray.
Jaroslav Pelikan
The church is always more than a school. But the church cannot be less than a school.
Jaroslav Pelikan
