Rabii Daniel Lapin

For the first time in 500 years, people utterly ignorant of the Bible still think of themselves as educated.

• It is the only book never to be out of print since 1452 when it became the first book ever printed.
• It is the book in which is enshrined the moral code of western civilization.
• It is the book which inspired Isaac Newton to probe and reveal secrets of science.
• It is the book that encouraged Oliver Cromwell to rebel against King Charles I.
• It is the book which stirred Samuel Taylor Coleridge to write, "In the Bible I have found words for my inmost thoughts, sons for my joy utterances for my hidden griefs."

This book is the natural legacy of every American child.

I commend the National Council on bible Curriculum in Public Schools for restoring the right of children to be properly educated, and the way in which they have done this in their curriculum.
