“What, then, is the nature or cause of unbelief? And our first answer, negatively, is that unbelief is not intellectual.” (Page 9)

“We must go on, in the second place, to point out why it is that the preaching of the Word is and should be the primary task of the church.” (Page 233)

“I myself spent two years engaged in scientific research. And I saw as much prejudice in scientific circles as I have ever seen anywhere else. The idea that scientists are impartial, that they could never be jealous of one another and never know anything about malice or spite—put that kind of theory to scientists and just watch their expressions. No, no! This is the deception of the devil; this is where he fools us. I make so bold as to say that the cause of unbelief is not man’s ability to reason but is always the result of irrationality. Unbelief is entirely a matter of feeling and prejudice, as we see here in Acts 5, and as we see equally clearly from the way in which was our Lord was treated.” (Page 12)

“The fact that the message of repentance is regarded as a very great insult is further proof of that fatal self-righteousness that is always the greatest hindrance to acceptance of the gospel message. The rejection of the Gospel because of self-righteousness is the astounding fact that is put before us here in this picture in Acts 5.” (Page 66)
