I think there's some pretty amazing language in the Bible.

God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice.

The Bible is God's Word expressed and revealed to his creature, man.

Without a knowledge of mythology much of the elegant literature of our own language cannot be understood and appreciated.

And out of darkness came the hands that reach thro' nature, moulding men.

All writing is that structure of revelation. There's something you want to find out. If you know everything up front in the beginning, you really don't need to read further if there's nothing else to find out.

This also is a part of the Church's teaching, that the world was made and took its beginning at a certain time, and is to be destroyed on account of its wickedness.

Everything the human being heard from the beginning, saw with its eyes, looked upon and touched with its hands was a living word; for God was the word.

The English Bible - a book which, if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power.
