Over Hill and Dale

“When Christ and the apostles preached, the established religious authorities were on the scene asking what appears to be their favorite question” ‘By what authority?’ John the Baptist was an eccentric hill preacher, Caiaphas had better establishment credentials than Jesus, and the Sanhedrin was amazed that men so obviously uneducated as the apostles could say anything intelligent. Following a wonder worker over hill and dale hardly counts for seminary credit” (Mother Kirk, p. 269).
