“[In the Gospels,] single events . . . [leave] pictures printed lastingly on the mind’s eye. The Last Supper is a deathless memory, the prayer in Gethsemane contains all that a tragic poet need learn, all disloyalty is summed in the 30 pieces of silver received by Judas. These symbolic pictures are somehow staggeringly impressive without being sensational. Most are very quietly narrated and the colourings are subdued.”— G. Wilson Knight, The Christian Renaissance
