"When one has made Yahweh one's object of fear, one can remain calm in the face of other fears . . . and live by God's standard of justice and righteousness."

J. J. M. Roberts, "Security and Justice in Isaiah" (SCJ 13.1:79)

Jane was described as "the rankest kind of an abolitionist and never hesitated to denounce slavery as an abomination."

Ethelene Bruce White, "Jane Campbell Mckeever (1800-1871): A Brief Biography with Comparison to her Brother Alexander on the Issue of Slavery" (SCJ 13.10)

"Although her area of influence was not as extensive as was Alexander's, Jane Campbell McKeever used her particular talents, resources, and circumstances to advance higher education for women, to promote freedom for slaves, and to lead others to the deliverance available in Jesus Christ"

Ethelene Bruce White, "Jane Campbell Mckeever (1800-1871): A Brief Biography with Comparison to her Brother Alexander on the Issue of Slavery" (SCJ 13.16)

"In addition to singing correct theology, Campbell wanted Christians to know the content of their songs and to engage their minds when they sang."

"'Creed in Metre': A Study in Campbell's First Hymnal" (SCJ 13.1:23)

"While much study remains to be done on the whole line of Campbell hymnals, the first one represents Campbell's successful effort to provide a statement of faith, a "creed in metre" for the Christians in his care."

"'Creed in Metre': A Study in Campbell's First Hymnal" (SCJ 13.1:29)

"Stone's staggering reply was that if Campbell called brother only those who pray to Jesus as God and "supremely" worship him, then Campbell should not call him brother"

Peter H. Cariaga,"Barton Stone's Unorthodox Christology" (SCJ 13.1:45)

"The solution to the vexing problem of how to decide on the meaning of our "bare minimum"—whatever that may be—is not to be found in claiming that "orthodox" confession is indisputable or obvious. That is precisely the lesson that Stone and Campbell's literal-logical Biblicism teaches."

Peter H. Cariaga,"Barton Stone's Unorthodox Christology" (SCJ 13.1:45)

"Microevolution is the strongest pillar of evolution, supported by everyone except the most fundamentalist Young Earth Creationists."

Hugh Henry and Dan J. Dyke,"Evolution as Mythology: Is The Modern Theory of Evolution Science or Myth?" (SCJ 13.1:49).

"Macroevolution is therefore an extension of microevolution. As noted above, microevolution is an established fact; the only question is its mechanism."

Hugh Henry and Dan J. Dyke,"Evolution as Mythology: Is The Modern Theory of Evolution Science or Myth?" (SCJ 13.1:49).

"In contrast to his political opponents, Isaiah maintained a consistent view throughout his long ministry. Peace, security, and well-being could not be obtained by the politics of fear, by ruthless and oppressive military preparations, or by cunning and dishonest military alliances."

J. J. M. Roberts, "Security and Justice in Isaiah" (SCJ 13.1:78)

"When one has made Yahweh one's object of fear, one can remain calm in the face of other fears and thus live out God's demands to give relief to the poor and needy, to live by God's standard of justice and righteousness."

J. J. M. Roberts, "Security and Justice in Isaiah" (SCJ 13.1:79)

"Paul as a Hellenized lone wolf going his own way in the early church is decreasingly the picture portrayed in the literature. Yet the disagreement about the presence of allusions to Jesus' logia continues."

David A. Fiensy, "The Synoptic Logia of Jesus in the Ethical Teachings of Paul" (SCJ 13.1:71)

"Another author [Cottrell] offers that it is misguided to assume that Jesus' teachings are important for Christians. But if Paul (not to mention the Gospels of Matthew, Luke, and John) placed such value on Jesus' ethical teaching, then perhaps this author's statement is, itself, misguided. Paul… considered the ethical teachings of Jesus one of his main gifts to the church."

David A. Fiensy, "The Synoptic Logia of Jesus in the Ethical Teachings of Paul" (SCJ 13.1:98)
