Thomas Carlyle wrote:<\/p>\n
The Bible is the truest utterance that ever came by alphabetic letters from the soul of man, through which, as through a window divinely opened, all men can look into the stillness of eternity, and discern in glimpses their far-distant, long-forgotten home.2096<\/p>\n
I call the Book of Job, apart from all the theories about it, one of the grandest things ever written with the pen.2097<\/p>\n
In his Miscellaneous Papers,<\/i> Thomas Carlyle wrote:<\/p>\n
The Hebrew Bible, is it not before all things true as no other book ever was or will be?2098<\/p>\n
In his essays 2 Carlyle wrote:<\/p>\n
In the poorest cottage are books: is one Book wherein, for several thousand of years, the spirit of man has found light, and nourishment, and an interpreting response to whatever is deepest in him.2099<\/p>\n
In his Critical and Miscellaneous Essays,<\/i> 1827, Carlyle wrote:<\/p>\n
The Bible itself has, in all changes of theory about it, this as its highest distinction: that it is the truest of all books. The Book springs, every word of it, from the intensest convictions, from the very heart\u2019s core, of those who penned it; and has not that been a successful Book? Did all the Paternoster Rows of the world ever hear of one so successful?2100<\/p>\n
In 1827, Thomas Carlyle wrote in The State of German Literature<\/i>:<\/p>\n
The three great elements of modern civilization: gunpowder, printing, and the Protestant religion.2101<\/p>\n
In Book III, Chapter III of his Sartor Resartus,<\/i> 1833\u201334, Thomas Carlyle wrote:<\/p>\n
If thou ask to what height man has carried it, look to our divinest symbol: Jesus of Nazareth, and His life, and His biography, and what followed therefrom. Higher has the human thought never reached; this is Christianity and Christendom\u2014a symbol of quite perennial, infinite character, whose significance will ever demand to be anew inquired into and anew made manifest.2102<\/p>\n
In Book II, Chapter 9 of Sartor Resartus,<\/i> he wrote:<\/p>\n
Love not Pleasure; love God.2103<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
