The Bible in Literature

The fountainhead of the power of the Bible in literature lies in its nearness to the very springs and sources of human life,—life taken seriously, earnestly, intensely; life in its broadest meaning, including the inward as well as the outward; life interpreted in its relation to universal laws and eternal values. It is this vital quality in the narratives, the poems, the discourses, the letters, gathered in this Book, that give it first place among the books of the world, not only for currency, but also for greatness.—Selected.
