“As God’s lawyer I was a dead failure; as God’s witness I was a success.”
Ruth A. Tucker, From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya: A Biographical History of Christian Missions

“Intellectual questions and doubts naturally arise when we read Bible stories because to our rational minds they often seem so utterly unbelievable. Perhaps we need a new frame of reference. When we open the Bible we should enter its pages with an attitude of Bring it on! Only then will we see the power of this incredible book.”
Ruth A. Tucker, The Biographical Bible: Exploring the Biblical Narrative from Adam and Eve to John of Patmos

“There were dozens of great religious leaders who were contemporaries of Martin Luther, as well as hundreds before and after. But he alone fit the bill as the great Reformer. Sure, the times were right. Sure, someone else would have come along. But no one else had the intellect and personality to carry it out, with its three most critical components: biblical teachings and translation; daring disputations on wide-ranging church traditions; and, most scandalous of all, clerical marriage demonstrated by his own public marriage to Katharina von Bora.”
Ruth A. Tucker, Katie Luther, First Lady of the Reformation: The Unconventional Life of Katharina von Bora
