Excerpt from What Is the Bible?: An Attempt to Answer the Question, in the Light of the Best Scholarship, and in the Most Reverent and Catholic Spirit

A book which finds a place not only in every church, but in every humble home, and which is more highly and more generally prized than any other book in Christendom, and justly so, because it stands at the fountain head of our religion and of much that is best in our civilization, is certainly a book about which we may suppose that all desire to be intelligent - and intelligent, not only in the small and meagre way of knowing by heart a good many texts that it contains, but also in the larger and more worthy way, of understanding the book as a whole - whence it came, how it came, from whom it came, under what circum stances it came, What it is, what relation it bears, if any, to other great Sacred Books of the race.
