The Greatest Story Ever Told

From Dorothy Sayers:

"[The Christian faith is] the most exciting drama that ever staggered the imagination of man."

"I believe it to be a grave mistake to present Christianity as something charming and popular with no offence in it...We cannot blink the fact that gentle Jesus meek and mild was so stiff in His opinions and so inflammatory in His language that He was thrown out of church, stoned, hunted from place to place, and finally gibbeted as a firebrand and a public danger.  Whatever His peace was, it was not the peace of an amiable indifference."
