More quotes by Friedrich Tholuck

The reason why we find so many dark places in the Bible is, for the most part, because there are so many dark places in our hearts.

I have been young, but now am old. I have spent a whole life-time in battling against infidelity with the weapons of apologetic science; but I have become ever more and more convinced that the way to the heart does not lie through the head; and that the only way to the conversion of the head lies through a converted heart which already tastes the living fruits of the gospel.
