"I like to think the linguistic accident that made 'God's Friday' into 'Good Friday' was no accident at all. It was God's own doing -- a sharp, prophetic jab at a time and a culture obsessed by happiness." -- Chris Armstrong, "The Goodness of Good Friday", Christianity Today, 2003-04-18
"In the midst of consumerism's Western playground, Good Friday calls to a jarring halt the sacred 'pursuit of happiness.' The cross reveals this pursuit for what it is: a secondary thing."
