Post-modernism is Pontius Pilate personified, mockingly asking Jesus, 'What is truth?'.--Patrick Sookhdeo, The death of Western Christianity p 2
Servant of God, well done! Well hast thou fought
The better fight, who single hast maintained
Against revolted multitudes the cause
Of truth, in word mightier than they in arms,
And for the testimony of truth hast borne
Universal reproach, far worse to bear
Than violence; for this was all thy care—
To stand approved in sight of God, though worlds
Judged thee perverse.
John Milton, Paradise Lost, book6:29-37
"If one studies church history carefully, there are about five different times when it looks as if the church has gone to the dogs, but that, in the end, all five times it was the dogs who died" - G.K. Chesterton
“The Christian must understand what confronts him antagonistically in his own moment of history. Otherwise he simply becomes a useless museum piece and not a living warrior for Jesus Christ.” -- Francis Schaeffer
