Kornelis Heiko Miskotte about Narrative Theology in his „When the Gods are Silent“: „In our conviction the Bible is essentially a narrative, a story, which we must pass on by retelling it. And in this way it can come about that the story may ‚happen’—so to speak, in an ‚unbloody repetition’— to those who listen to us.

Eduard Thurneysen: „Jesus Is Victor!“ An Easter Sermon on Ephesisans 2:1-2.4-6: „This is the Easter gospel. Why do we not believe it? Why do we always strive against this mighty „but God, who is rich in mercy . . .“?
