Miscellanea

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Bavinck on Crime

If the state’s only right to act against criminals is for self-protection and to improve them, how will we stop those who wish to deal with all kinds of sick people in similar manner, to view the religious and moral convictions that are judged to be contrary to the public good as so many diseases, remnants and aftereffects of an earlier state, and to take over the entire upbringing of its citizens and the whole culture of the society in question.
