==Quotes==
''Abraham Lincoln''
: I believe the Bible is the best gift [[God]] has ever given to man. All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through this book.
''Patrick Henry''
: The [[Bible]] is worth all other books which have ever been printed.
''Elizabeth Cady Stanton''
: The Bible and the [[Church]] have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation.
''Charles H. Spurgeon''
: Defend the Bible? I would just as soon defend a roaring lion.
''Isaac Newton''
: There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history.
''Isaac Asimov''
: Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.
''Immanuel Kant''
: The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a crime against humanity.
''Goethe'''
: Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in ever greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires, beyond the elevation and moral culture of [[Christianity]], as it shines forth in the [[gospels]], it will not go.
''Ralph Waldo Emerson''
: Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in your reading have been like the blast of triumph out of Shakespeare, Seneca, [[Moses]], [[apostle John|John]] and [[apostle Paul|Paul]].
''Lord Tennyson''
: Bible reading is an education in itself.
: ''Thomas Huxley''
The Bible has been the Magna Carta of the poor and oppressed. The human race is not in a position to dispense with It.
