Christianity Quotes
Jesus has the most entries, then Jefferson, Shakespeare, Augustine and C. S. Lewis. Critics get space too: Bertrand Russell in 1932 says Christianity gives reasons for not fearing death and so fails to teach the virtue of courage, and Shaw’s Saint Joan (1923) asks whether a Christ must perish in every age. Disraeli’s Endymion (1880) has the shortest line on the page: his Christianity was muscular.
Gandhi’s “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians” is disputed, and the notes bring in the missionary E. Stanley Jones, who is said to have asked him a similar question. A line about the last stone of the last church, credited to Émile Zola, is traced to a Soviet popular-science book of 1959. The third disputed entry is an anti-Christian remark credited to Hitler.
