The Bible as Literature

The Bible is by universal confession the best of books in a literary as well as in a moral sense. The antiquity, the eloquence, the verity, the purity, the permanency, and the power of the literature which it embodies and represents alike proclaim it such. As the insect within the odorous recesses of the rose is all embalmed in fragrance, so it is with him who studies the literature of the Bible.
