JAROSLAV PELIKAN
American clergyman (1923 - )

To invoke a Kierkegaardesque figure of speech, the beauty of the
language of the Bible can be like a set of dentist's instruments
nearly laid out on a table and hanging on a wall, intriguing in
their technological complexity and with their stainless steel
highly polished--until they set to work on the job for which they
were originally designed. Then all of a sudden my reaction
changes from "How shiny and beautiful they all are!" to "Get that
damned thing out of my mouth!"
