Voices Through the Centuries: Famous Words on the Power of the Bible
For hundreds of years, presidents, scientists, writers, and preachers have spoken about what the Bible means to them. They came from very different backgrounds, yet many of them pointed to the same thing: this book speaks to every generation. Here are ten of their voices.
“it is the best gift God has given to man.”
Abraham Lincoln
16th U.S. President, 1864, when given a Bible by a committee from Baltimore
“the best book that ever was or will be known in the world.”
Charles Dickens
English novelist, in an 1868 letter to his son about the New Testament
“To the Bible men will return; and why? Because they cannot do without it.”
Matthew Arnold
English poet and critic
“Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.”
Charles Spurgeon
Baptist preacher
“an immeasurable distance separates it from all competitors.”

Four-time British Prime Minister, on the Bible's unique origin
“We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy.”

“The Lord does not shine upon us unless we see by his Word…”
John Calvin
