聖經因此是最卓絕的書。這本書對人類產生最深遠的影響,這種影響比各民族和各宗教所帶來的影響大得多。文明經它薰陶,藝術和文學受到它的啟發。(AE, 170)
The Bible is therefore the book par excellence. The book that has exercised the greatest influence on humanity; an influence that is by far superior to that exercised by peoples and religions. It permeates our civilization; in it, art and literature find their inspiration (AE, 170).
