Robert Boyle (Bible)

“In the Bible the ignorant may learn all requisite knowledge, and the most knowing may learn to discern their ignorance.”

Robert Boyle (Philosopher, Chemist, 1627-1691)

Robert Boyle (Scriptures)

“I use the Scriptures, not as an arsenal to be resorted to only for arms and weapons, but as a matchless temple, where I delight to be, to contemplate the beauty, the symmetry, and the magnificence of the structure, and to increase my awe, and excite my devotion to the Deity there preached and adored.”

Robert Boyle (Philosopher, Chemist, 1627-1691)

Robert Boyle (Our Saviour)

“Our Saviour would love at no less rate than death; and from the supereminent height of glory, stooped and debased Himself to the sufferance of the extremest of indignities, and sunk himself to the bottom of abjectness, to exalt our condition to the contrary extreme.”

Robert Boyle (Philosopher, Chemist, 1627-1691)

Robert Boyle (Gospel)

“The gospel comprises indeed, and unfolds, the whole mystery of mans redemption, as far forth as it is necessary to be known for our salvation.”

Robert Boyle (Philosopher, Chemist, 1627-1691)

Lord Kelvin (Religion)

“Let nobody be afraid of true freedom of thought. Let us be free in thought and criticism; but, with freedom, we are bound to come to the conclusion that science is not antagonistic to religion, but a help to it.”

Lord Kelvin (Physicist 1824-1907)

Lord Kelvin (The Cross)

“Christianity without the cross is nothing. The cross was the fitting close of a life of rejection, scorn and defeat. But in no true sense have these things ceased or changed. Jesus is still He whom man despiseth, and the rejected of men. The world has never admired Jesus, for moral courage is yet needed in every one of its high places by him who would “confess” Christ. The “offense” of the cross, therefore, has led men in all ages to endeavor to be rid of it, and to deny that it is the power of God in the world.”

Lord Kelvin (Physicist 1824-1907)

James Clerk Maxwell (Science)

“I think men of science as well as other men need to learn from Christ, and I think Christians whose minds are scientific are bound to study science that their view of the glory of God may be as extensive as their being is capable. But I think that the results which each man arrives at in his attempts to harmonize his science with his Christianity ought not to be regarded as having any significance except to the man himself, and to him only for a time, and should not receive the stamp of a society.”

James Clerk Maxwell (Scientist, Physics, 1831-1879)
