The Bible is both a book—the world’s best-selling book—and a library of sixty-six books. The impact of the Bible on Western Civilization is enough to spark anyone’s curiosity about its content.
Victor Hugo, author of Les Miserables, observed, “England has two books, the Bible and Shakespeare. England made Shakespeare, but the Bible made England.”
Immanuel Kant, one of the world’s most influential philosophers, said, “The Bible is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced.… A single line in the Bible has consoled me more than all the books I ever read besides.”
President John Quincy Adams treated the Bible as the key education resource in the lives of his children: “So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it, the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens to their country and respectable members of society.”
