“In Christ's word there is both Christ's doctrine and Christ's heart, — the fact which He announces, and the feeling with which He proclaims it; and in order to be really Biblical, in order to be completely Christian, we must unite the two.

James Hamilton (1814–1867) Scottish minister and a prolific author of religious tracts
