"Men evangelized cannot go to hell but over the bowels of God's great mercies. They must wade to it through the bood of Christ."
- John Duncan (1796-1870), a Disruption Worthy of the Free Church of Scotland, professor of Hebrew and Oriental Languages at New College, and missionary to the Jews in Hungary. He was known for his proverbial wisdom and upon his death William Knight, an English writer, remarked that "with him has perished a breathing library of wisdom."

Much on the Main Things
"I'm first a Christian, next a catholic, then a Calvinist, fourth an evangelical, and fifth a Presbyterian. I cannot reverse this order."
- John "Rabbi" Duncan (1796-1870), converted to Christianity from Judaism and was the Church of Scotland's first missionary to the Jews. Adolph Saphir and Alfred Edersheim, both orthodox Jews, became Christians through Duncan's work in Hungary. Duncan came out of the great "Disruption" in 1843 with the Free Church of Scotland, becoming a professor of Hebrew in the newly formed New College seminary. Duncan, Saphir, and Edersheim would become prominent leaders in the Free Church during the second half of the 19th century.
