Famous quotes containing the words gospel and/or reading:
“A good man was ther of religioun,
And was a poure persoun of a toun,
But riche he was of hooly thoght and werk.

That Cristes gospel trewely wolde preche.
His parisshens devoutly wolde he teche.”

“The Athanasian Creed is to me light and intelligible reading in comparison with much that now passes for science.”
