"There is more to see in this portrait of the unconquerable Christ. Ever since Biblical times men have tried to conquer Him. Men of thought. Men of philosophy. Men of letters. Men of knowledge. Voltaire made the statement that he would show the world [that] although it took twelve apostles to establish Christianity, it would only take one [Voltaire!] to tear it down. The Bible would be an antique, he said, [no later than] one hundred years after his death. 'God is dead,' says Nietzsche. 'Christianity is through,' says Voltaire. The Bible is an antique. Conquer the unconquerable Christ? How preposterous it all sounds when we are still talking about Jesus today!" Jesus The Revolutionary, H.S. Vigeveno, p. 19.
