The previous principle of a Bible College in England once said, during a lesson centred around the robbers at either side of Jesus during the crucifixion, more specifically talking about whether or not the one who asked for forgiveness got it, and exploring some of the implications that arose out of that peice of scripture he said to one student who kept making ridiculous comments "You Can't bade your entire soteriological theology around one man dying on a cross." The classroom errupted! Whilst this is not in print, I thought it was hilarious.
