“Where’s the sex and blood?” my college religion professor, Dr. King, asked after she’d read to us from the New Testament. “The Old Testament—the Bible of the Jews—is filled with rape and incest, sex and death. Yet the New Testament is completely sexless! They aren’t telling us something!” she proclaimed. “For instance, who was the Beloved Disciple mentioned by John? And why doesn’t John identify this person? “Is the Beloved Disciple’s lack of identity simply because he or she was a minor character lucky to have been mention at all?” my professor asked.

The Bible is full of planted treasures, for God disguises significant matters for kings to investigate. He hides grand gifts of sustaining wealth. The strength of Christ, so many treasures. We who explore them gain depth of character. Our morality becomes stronger than it could have ever been before. God has concealed many treasures, but one is significant, I have found. It is wrapped in the letters of Peter, the apostle who depended on God. It is God who hides great mysteries. It is for his faithful to explore for them and find.

"Когда я начинал трилогию «Христос и Антихрист», мне казалось, что существуют две правды: христианство—правда о небе, и язычество—правда о земле, и в будущем соединении этих двух правд—полнота религиозной истины. Но, кончая, я уже знал, что соединение Христа с Антихристом—кощунственная ложь; я знал, что обе правды—о небе и о земле—уже соединены во Христе Иисусе… Но теперь я также знаю, что мне надо было пройти эту ложь до конца, чтобы увидеть истину."
