It breathes in the prophecy, thunders in the law, murmurs in the narrative, whispers in the promises, supplicates in the prayers, sparkles in the poetry, resounds in the songs, speaks in the types, glows in the imagery, voices in the language, and burns in the spirit of the whole scheme, from the Alpha to the Omega, from its beginning to its end. Holiness! holiness needed, holiness a present duty, a present privilege, a present enjoyment, is the progress and completeness of the Bible's wondrous theme!
Bishop Foster "Christian Purity"
