"The Scriptures are not a possession of ours, which we may put into the world's balances to be weighed. Rather, the Scriptures are God's scales, in which he places the entire world. They are the scales in which he places heaven and earth, and all the nations. He says to us, 'Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin.' We do not get to say that to him. The ghostly hand of higher criticism does not get to write anything on the walls of heaven's banqueting halls. And even if it managed that feat, nobody in those halls would be frightened -- not even a little bit. There are no heavenly Belshazzars, no celestial knees to knock together" (From With Calvin in the Theater of God, p. 90).
