William F. Buckley Jr. 1925-2008

William F. Buckley Jr. died yesterday. This was included in a collection of quotations from him at the National Review site.

. . . here is the end of his 1970 Playboy interview, coming after a long, intense grilling about Vietnam, civil rights, Communism, etc.:

PLAYBOY: Don’t most dogmas, theological as well as ideological, crumble sooner or later?
BUCKLEY: Most, but not all.
PLAYBOY: How can you be so sure?
BUCKLEY: I know that my Redeemer liveth.

Thanks to Stand to Reason for the reference.
