I loved Allison Sander's remark about the Hebrew professor, when asked
whether a pastor should learn Greek or Hebrew, responded that it
depended on whether he wanted to get behind the pulpit without his shirt
or without his pants. I may adopt it as a "signature line" at some
point.
A while back someone quoted someone who said "To bury oneself in the
[Greek] lexicon is to be raised with Christ" or some such thing. Can
anyone help with the quote - who said it, and what it exactly is?
Thanks!
