• Aquí en Estados Unidos, cuando se utiliza el término "fascista", o bien se habla de otros países, de la historia antigua, o bien se utiliza como una especie de insulto, cierto, una especie de epíteto genérico de derechas que la gente utiliza para criticar a políticos que, como mucho, están en el límite de la corriente principal del pensamiento político estadounidense.

• I hate The Oscars. The Oscars make me want to throw things at the TV. In the ancient history of The Oscars, people would go on and make political statements and get thrown off the stage, but the last great political statement, I think, was when Michael Moore started raging against Bush a few years back. Everybody booed him, even though I can't imagine Hollywood booing a guy who's bashing Bush. That was the last great spontaneous moment on The Oscars.

• Mientras que gran parte de lo que sabemos de la historia antigua se deriva de una o dos fuentes, tenemos no menos de nueve fuentes antiguas, dentro y fuera del Nuevo Testamento, que corroboran la convicción de los discípulos de que se encontraron con Jesús resucitado. Eso es una avalancha de datos.

• I took piano lessons when I was a little kid, but even before that, you're singing in the classroom and wherever. Gosh, children are always singing. But I took music lessons, some choir and things like that at school. I learned how to play the guitar when I was about 13... ancient history.

• Hasta cierto punto, la mitología no es más que la historia y la biografía más antiguas. Lejos de ser falsa o fabulosa en el sentido común,sólo contiene la verdad perdurable y esencial, omitiendo el yo y el tú, el aquí y el allá, el ahora y el entonces. La escribe el tiempo o una rara sabiduría.

• La historia antigua tiene un aire de antigüedad. Debería ser más moderna. Está escrita como si el especulador pensara en el reverso del cuadro de la pared, o como si el autor esperara que los muertos fueran a ser sus lectores, y quisiera detallarles su propia experiencia.

• If you start thinking about the kids being born now, for them the computer is ancient history. So one imagines that when children think of it as the only place to be, because there isn't anywhere else, then the geniuses of those generations will find their way into doing something that is impressive and as good as a Shakespeare or a Cervantes. But nowadays, we can't see that. We're not close enough to it yet.

• In the old days, land was important as the giver of all things. That period is gone now. Technology and brainpower are all that matters and yet conflicts over land, specially one like on the India-China border, that yields nothing, continue. This is a burden of ancient history that we continue to carry. If tomorrow there is settlement on planet Mars, we will begin to worry if others are interested.

• We always see the Holocaust in terms of black-and-white images, barking Germans, cowering Jews. We know very well-known fixed places like Auschwitz, Birkenau, Treblinka, and Beltzec. Instead, war can live in a couple having a spat, when we say, "That was a real war." We very rarely have the Holocaust live in the terms of today. And I think that's a problem, because it becomes ancient history.

• From my student days I found him a compelling and fascinating, though often puzzling, figure. It's a lifelong fascination now and I don't expect that to stop! His vision of God, God's faithfulness, God's purposes and so on is so much bigger and richer than almost any subsequent Christian thinker has ever managed. In addition, I have always loved ancient history, especially the history of the early Roman empire, and of course Paul fits right into that.
