Quotes about Bible
The greatness of our God lies in the fact that he is both toughminded and tenderhearted. He has qualities both of austerity and of gentleness.

I pointed out that most sentences in the Bible began with And , but I was told that English had changed since the time of King James. In that case, I argued, why make us read the Bible?
