FATHER OF MODERN HUMANISIM DEFENDS THE BIBLE

Thomas Huxley, CONTEMPORARY REVIEW (1933) pg 94.

"The Bible has been the 'Magna Carta' of the poor and the oppressed down to modern times. No state has had a constitution in which the interest of the people are so largely taken into account, in which the duties so much more than the privileges of rulers are insisted upon as that drawn up for Israel. Nowhere is the fundamental truth that the welfare of this state in the long run depends upon the uprightness of the citizen so strongly laid down. I do not believe that the human race is yet and possibly never will be in a position to dispense with the Bible."
