Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

It is vastly more important, then, to know what the Reformation retained than what it overthrew; for the overthrow of error, though often an indispensable prerequisite to the establishment of truth, is not truth itself; it may clear the foundation, simply to substitute one error for another, perhaps a greater for a less. -- C. P. Krauth, *The Conservative Reformation* p. 202
