OLD & NEW TESTAMENTS

'The Old Testament is not just a source of further information for the New Testament, or an interesting sideshow attached to it, or even the indispensable prelude to it. The New Testament will not work without the Old Testament.' 

Fleming Rutledge, The Crucifixion, p.214. 

THE NEW TESTAMENT

'The New Testament, given a fair hearing, does not need me or anyone else to defend it. It has a proper ring for anyone who has not lost his ear for truth.'

JB Phillips, Ring of Truth: A Translator's Testimony, p.14.
