Jesus of Nazareth

“Jesus of Nazareth, without money and arms, conquered more millions than Alexander, Caesar, Mohammed, and Napoleon.  Without science and learning, He shed more light on things human  and divine than all the philosophers and scholars combined.  Without the eloquence of schools, He spoke words of life such as were never spoken before nor since, and produced effects which lie beyond the reach of orator or poet.  Without writing a single line, He has set more pens in motion and furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussion, works of art, learned volumes, and sweet songs of praise than the whole army of great people of ancient and modern time.  Born in a manger, crucified as a malefactor, He controls the destinies of the civilized world and rules a spiritual empire that encircles the globe.”
-Historian Philip Schaff, as quote in How You Can Help Fulfill the Great Commission by Bill Bright.
