“The Soul is not called monogenes simply because it is precious, but because it is precious in view of its uniqueness: a man has but one life to lose.”

(Geerhardus Vos, The Self-Disclosure of Jesus: The Modern Debate About the Messianic Consciousness, Edited by and Re-written by Johannes G. Vos, Grand Rapids, Michigan: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1954, 214)
