Text Quotes
With the Hebrew Bible, you’re living in an austere world  (Frank Moore Cross Quotes) [The story of Adam and Eve] it’s poetry. One must interpret it as poetry. The first 11 chapters of Genesis [the Primeval History] are absolutely remarkable.  (Frank Moore Cross Quotes) It fascinates me to analyze these things and, yes, to see layers in the texts and the building up of Biblical literature. I think this provides insights that one simply does not get by the direct approach.  (Frank Moore Cross Quotes) The Garden of Eden presents the same story: If you want to make yourself gods, you’ll find you’re akin to the animals.  (Frank Moore Cross Quotes) You have miracles [in the Hebrew Bible], yes, but they’re not the work, normally, of demons  (Frank Moore Cross Quotes) My own interest is far more in the Hebrew Bible. My religion is more personally related to the Hebrew Bible than it is to the New Testament.  (Frank Moore Cross Quotes) The Hebrew Bible defines Judaism. It’s certainly true that the Talmudic interpretations become authoritative and normative, but they are interpretations of the Hebrew Bible. So that is always there.  (Frank Moore Cross Quotes) Happily, I come out of a Calvinist tradition in which the Hebrew Bible carries as much authority as the New Testament. No different weight is given to one or the other.  (Frank Moore Cross Quotes) When you come to the New Testament you can’t even swing a cat without hitting three demons and two spirits. And magic becomes something that is everywhere. In the Hebrew Bible this sort of thing doesn’t go on.  (Frank Moore Cross Quotes)
