[God] bestows His blessings without discrimination. The followers of Jesus are children of God, and they should manifest the family likeness by doing good to all, even to those who deserve the opposite.

F.F. Bruce
Frederick Fyvie Bruce (1910–1990) war ein schottischer Bibelwissenschaftler und Professor für biblische Kritik und Exegese an der Universität Manchester. Er verband historisch-philologische Forschung mit bibeltreuer Theologie, geriet jedoch wegen seiner Offenheit gegenüber modernen Strömungen und egalitären Positionen bei strengen Konservativen in die Kritik. Für heutige Bibelleser bleiben seine nüchternen Kommentare und Studien zur neutestamentlichen Geschichte eine wichtige Referenz zur historischen Kontextualisierung der Schrift.
