[A] young man who fervently loves God, although adorned with limited gifts, will be more useful to the church of God with his meager talent and academic achievement than a vain and worldly fool with double doctor's degrees who is very clever but has not been taught by God.--Philip Jacob Spener, German Pietist pastor, quoted in William Baird, History of New Testament Research, Volume 1: From Deism to Tuebingen, p. 61
