Spiritual Quote of the Day (Tom Holland, on the Bible)

“A history of the Bible…cannot just be a history of intellectuals. Its impact is immeasurable precisely because it was felt by soldiers as well as by scholars, and by down-and-outs as well as by dons. It is a book that has, over the millennia, inspired revolts and grandiose schemes of revolution and wars and pogroms and expeditions to different continents.” — English novelist, popular historian, and podcaster Tom Holland, “In the Beginning Was the Word,” The Financial Times, Apr. 13-14, 2019
