About This Quote
When the Bible was first written, it was read by men who were illiterate. The first readers of the Bible lacked formal education and could not read, write or speak any other language. When the first books of the Bible were produced, they were written in Hebrew. When they were translated into other languages, they were translated into words that could be understood by people who were literate. The fact that people like Martin Luther King Jr., Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln all read the Bible demonstrates that our founding fathers believed in the power of prayer and scripture to change people's lives for the better.
