Bart D. Ehrman on quranic research!
"Muslims love to quote Bart Ehrman, because Ehrman criticizes the New Testament....he holds that it hasn't been perfectly preserved, that it contains contradictions, and that it isn't the inspired Word of God..." - Answering Muslims
But in the video above (via Answering Muslims, with thanks to The Religion of Peace), he offers a very brief and simple explanation of why he doesn't undertake similar study of the Qur'an: he doesn't want to get murdered.

Barth on Father!
No human father, but God alone, is properly, truly and primarily Father. No human father is the creator of his child, the controller of its destiny, or its saviour from sin, guilt and death. No human father is by his word the source of its temporal and eternal life. In this proper, true and primary sense God - and He alone - is Father. He is so as the Father of mercy, as the Father of His Son, of the Lord Jesus Christ … God is the Father of whom the whole family, or all fatherhood, in heaven and on earth is named (Isa. 63:16; Matt. 23:9; Isa. 49:15; Psa. 27:10). (III, 4, p. 245. Parents and Children.)

Simplicity of Barth’s faith
The simplicity of Barth’s faith is beautifully illustrated in an incident described by J. M. Boice:
“Several years before his death the Swiss theologian Karl Barth came to the United States for a series of lectures. At one of these, after a very impressive lecture, a student asked a typically American question. He said, ‘Dr. Barth
, what is the greatest thought that has ever passed through your mind?’ The aging professor paused for a long time as he obviously thought about his answer. Then he said with great simplicity:‘Jesus loves me! This I know. For the Bible tells me so’ ” - Foundations of the Christian Faith.

Confound it!
In keeping with the presumed folly of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, God has chosen the so-called foolish ones of the world to confound the wisdom of the wise, the weak to confound the strong, the trivial and contemptible, the things that are not to bring to nothing those that are, in order that it may be manifest that no flesh can glory in His presence (1 Corinthians 1.18, 26–29).

Sharia reasoning about jihad!
In his excellent book, "Arguing the Just War in Islam", John Kelsay bluntly states, “Those who wish to argue that Islam has nothing to do with the attacks of 9/11 or with the tactics of Iraqi ‘insurgents’ will find no comfort here.” Indeed, the “facts are plain” that the militants in question identify themselves as Muslim and use Sharia reasoning about jihad to justify their actions. Unless one is willing to ignore the statements of the militants themselves, one cannot deny the central role of Sharia reasoning in the acts of violent Muslim extremists.

Heavy Church! (3 Dog Night)
Light my way with incensed candles
Rug so soft beneath my sandals
I’ve never been in here before
Like to feel the glory
Mercy, mercy on love defenders
Have pity on the love pretenders
A little help for all life’s losers
A little truth for the mind abusers
Ooh I need them playing in the Heavy Church
If you judge the way they’re living
Try to see the truth they’re giving
They only want to touch your hand with understanding
Mercy, mercy on love defenders
Have pity on the love pretenders
A little help for all life’s losers
A little truth for the mind abusers
Ooh I need them playing in the Heavy Church
Hear them, hear them, hear them, hear them
Run and see the truth they’re giving you
Hear them, hear them
Run and see the truth they’re giving you
