Letters to a Young Evangelical Quotes

I've been reading the book "Letters to a Young Evangelical" by Tony Campolo and in the last couple of chapters he's quoted other sources. I just wanted to share these quotes with you. I think they're cool.

"The Church is a whore, but she's my mother."
- St. Augustine (page 68 of "Letters to a Young Evangelical")

"Soren Kierkegaard, the Danish existentialist, once said there are those who tell lies in such a way that you think they are telling you the truth. He went on to suggest that far more dangerous are those who tell the truth in such a way that you think they are telling you a lie. When the Gospel is presented with little regard for the sensitivities of others, it may redily be rejected not because of its content but becuase of how it has been delivered."
- Tony Campolo referring to Soren Kierkegaard (page 56 of "Letters to a Young Evangelical")
