"If one should limit himself only to ... pieces of undisputed authenticity, it would be impossible to make any real progress, owing to their scarcity. It is therefore necessary to examine the rich patristic and apocryphal literature while keeping in mind its limitations." - Pg. 15 - patristic literature

"We see no justification for such historical skepticism, especially since a new quest for the historical Jesus has begun which casts shadows on previous methodologies and promises to find in the Gospels a much larger number of genuine deeds and words of Jesus." - Pg. 18 - historical skepticism

C.S. Mosna said that W. Rordorf gave "the rise of Sunday festivity a too-Christian origin, neglecting other userful elements and detatching it from its Jewish context." (Storia della domenica, pp. 41 and 5). - Jewish context of the Sabbath
