+The Roman Catholic Church is responsible for preserving the Bible through the efforts of Pope St. Damasus I and St. Jerome; and it was the Roman Catholic Church that is responsible for handing it on to all generations, and teaching it, and interpreting it, through the centuries.
+Theodore Roosevelt said that “a thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.”
+George Washington stated that “it is impossible to rightly govern without God and the Bible. To which Daniel Webster replied: “If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.”
+The biblical ideal of the brotherhood of man eventually led nations, dominated by Christian teaching and values, to abolish slavery and to lead the way in working to abolish slavery worldwide. The Bible condemns economic injustice and any system that marginalizes or oppresses any people and it establishes the dignity of human life. The image of God and creation from the Bible historically encouraged the development of the sciences, the arts and civilization. Abraham Lincoln once remarked that he believed that “the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.”
