“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.”
“The Bible is worth all the other books which have ever been printed.”
SIGNED: Patrick Henry
Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death"; but in current textbooks, the context of these words is omitted.
Here is what he actually said: "An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."
These sentences have been erased from our textbooks. Was Patrick Henry a Christian? The following year, 1776, he wrote this: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."
Above all, he can be best described with two titles—Patriot, and American. Throughout his life, he gave new clarity to the definition of the former while essentially inventing the template for the latter.
We owe to Henry our nation’s strong foundation of individual liberty, sound moral values, freedom of speech, and political courage.
Henry was born May 29, 1736 in Hanover County in the colony of Virginia. He would see that colony’s transition to an independent Commonwealth as part of the United States and call the area home for his entire life.
His uncle, also his namesake, was a Reverend in the Scottish Episcopal Church, instilling in him from an early age the Christian virtue that would inform his policy for the balance of his days.
While officially baptized in the Church of England, Patrick Henry actually attended a Presbyterian Church with his mother.
As a child, he witnessed the fiery Great Awakening preaching of Samuel Davies. Here, he would learn of Christianity’s power to move men to great deeds, as well as the impact of strong oration.
Henry began his professional life in the private sector as an apprentice to a storekeeper. He married Sarah Shelton and continued his path in private business by managing a 600 acre tobacco farm in Hanover County, called Pine Slash. When a fire destroyed the farmhouse in 1757, Henry left farming to help his father-in-law manage the popular Hanover Tavern.
It was while working at the tavern that the seeds of his public career took root. The tavern was located directly across the street from the county courthouse.
He began to read law and observe trials held at the court. By April 15 of 1760, he had passed the Virginia bar exam and began to practice law.
In 1763, Henry rose to prominence because of a case known as the Parson’s Cause. The government of the King of England had negated the Two-Penny Act passed by the Virginia General Assembly. Essentially, the issue was whether the crown or the people of Virginia could set the price of tobacco paid to clergy.
Henry argued that if the King would go against a ruling made by the people in their own best interest, then he was “a tyrant who forfeits the allegiance of his subjects.” Thus, Henry’s radical nature came to the fore, and was met with wide public acceptance, and respect from his legal associates.
He starkly compared the king to Caesar and himself to Brutus, and then made the same analogy with Charles the First and Oliver Cromwell. Henry then shocked the House by stating, “If this be treason, make the most of it.”
The Virginia Stamp Act Resolutions passed on the strength of his speech, an act of legislature pro-British forces labeled as treasonous.
With the colonies on the verge of revolution and his fame rising as the emerging rebellion’s supreme agitator, Henry’s personal life would soon be turned upside down.
As a loving and devoted husband and a dedicated father that did not wish to separate his children from their mother, Henry faced an unthinkable dilemma in deciding on the care for his wife.
In the end, rather than subject her to the notoriously harsh institutional conditions of the day, she was cared for by family and servants, at Scotchtown.
In response to the Boston Tea Party in 1773, Henry and the House of Burgesses held a day of fasting and prayer in solidarity with the rebels.
The next year, he was elected to the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia where he would lead the call for the non-importation of British goods.
Just as these acts brought the revolutionary fervor to a head, Sarah died having never recovered from her bouts with dementia.
To the Second Virginia Convention, Henry made an impassioned plea with no notes in hand for the colonies to form an organi
zed militia to take action against the advancing British troops. Amongst such luminaries of the Revolution as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and others, Henry held the floor with a commanding presence, and won the day with his words.
Despite having not composed the speech before hand, Henry spoke with clear reasoning, arguing that it was the British who had already begun the war.
Even with his well-reasoned logic, Henry’s speech was a vociferous call-to-arms, culminating in a line that would define the revolution,
Forbid it, Almighty God!
I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”
Though Dunmore would officially denounce Henry and his men as dangerous and treasonous, he soon fled to the safety of a British warship. Dunmore would eventually concede total victory to Henry and reimburse the colonists the value of the munitions taken from them. By August, Patrick Henry had become a Colonel of the First Virginia Regiment and Commander-in-Chief of the Virginia Militia.
By February 1776, he abdicated his military role to focus on the governmental aspects of the war and the creation of a new nation. In April, he represented Hanover County in Virginia’s Fifth Revolutionary Convention.
They declared the Commonwealth independent, and drafted its constitution. In pushing for the Virginia Declaration of Rights, he made a strong stance for individual liberty and paved the way for the eventual inclusion of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of the United States years later.
Later in that year, he was elected to the first of five terms as Virginia’s Governor—the first independently-elected holder of the position.
He also remarried, taking the lovely and prestigious Dorothea Dandridge’s hand. Devoted family man that he was, Henry and Dorothea would add eleven children to the six he had already fathered with Sarah.
In his first three consecutive terms as Governor, Henry was instrumental in securing and providing supplies to the Revolutionary Army.
Most importantly, he provided aid to General Washington’s beleaguered forces at Valley Forge. Moving to the countryside of Virginia in 1776, Henry became a legislator in the General Assembly.
Following the 1781 surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Henry continued his public service and helped to shape the newborn union as both a legislator and Governor of Virginia. In all, he served five times as governor.
In these capacities he made a strong stand for the education of the American people, helping found Hampden Sydney College in 1783 and leading a call for greater government support to teachers.
This bill would be denied on the grounds that most of the teachers were associated with a specific church, leading to the adoption of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom.
Along with fellow Virginian George Mason, Henry felt the Constitution was fundamentally flawed in its lack of a clearly delineated Bill of Rights. Without such written guarantees of rights, they believed the country could easily fall into the trappings of monarchy.
As the Constitution called for the creation of a federal government, those in favor of its published form (such as George Washington, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson) were called the Federalists and were pitted against those wary of the exclusion of a Bill of Rights (such as Henry and Mason) called the Anti-Federalists.
In the subsequent national debate over the published Constitution, Henry would be the most effective orator of the Anti-Federalists just as he had been to the entire Revolution.
When our nation’s founding document was barely and contentiously adopted by the Commonwealth of Virginia, Henry had forced a promise to adopt certain amendments which would become the Bill of Rights when passed one year later. Henceforth, he would be a supporter of our nation’s Constitution, but remain ever-vigilant to federal encroachments on individual liberty.
He would argue many prestigious cases while denying a bevy of offered governmental positions from Senator to Chief Justice to Secretary of State (the latter from our nation’s first president, George Washington) due to his failing health and pressures at home.
Convinced to run for the Virginia legislature once more by Washington, Henry made his final public speech to voters on March 4, 1799.
This was a moving plea for national unity, during which he declared, “United we stand, divided we fall. Let us not split into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs.” The speech has been heralded as a fitting final word from Henry the statesman by many historians.
Patrick Henry died on June 6, 1799, just before his final term as a legislator could begin. He was buried at Red Hill, which has since become recognized as the National Memorial to Henry. His gravestone reads, “His Fame His Best Epitaph.”
And his last will and testament (as quoted in Michael Jesse Bennett’s Patrick Henry’s Comments on Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness) leaves our great nation with a moving prescription for the insurance of the liberty he fought so hard to win:
If they are wise, they will be great and happy. If they are of a contrary character, they will be miserable.”

Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote in the front of his well-worn Bible: "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our creator."
He was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role.
On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: "It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."
Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country."
In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: "The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools."
William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for over 100 years in our public schools, with over 125 million copies sold, until it was stopped in 1963.
Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first, Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook, rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the Scriptures: "Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies, is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life,! John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation for our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States, said this: "We have staked the whole future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
Most of what you read in this article has been erased from our textbooks. Revisionists have rewritten history to remove the truth about our country's Christian roots. You are encouraged to share this with others, so that the truth of our nation's history will be told. To find out more, look up government and the T.E.A.

I am a creature of a day. I am a spirit come from God, and returning to God. I want to know one thing: the way to heaven. God himself has condescended to teach me the way. He has written it down in a book. Oh, give me that book! At any price give me the book of God. Let me be a man of one book.--John Wesley
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means. --George Bernard Shaw
It is a mistake to look to the Bible to close a discussion; the Bible seeks to open one. - William Sloane Coffin
The Holy Book of the living God suffers more from its exponents today than from its opponents. -Leonard Ravenhill
It will greatly help you to understand scripture if you note – no only what is spoken and written, but of whom and to whom, with what words, at what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstances, considering what goes before and what follows. --Miles Coverdale, in his introduction to his Bible translation.
When you read God's Word, you must constantly be saying to yourself, "It is talking to me, and about me." --Soren Kierkegaard
Never place a period where God has placed a comma. God is still speaking. Gracie Allen
We do not read the Bible the way it is; we read it the way we are. --Evelyn Uyemura
Bible reading is an education in itself. --Lord Tennyson
Reading the Bible without meditating on it is like trying to eat without swallowing. --Anonymous
The Bible is a book that has been read more and examined less than any book that ever existed. --Thomas Paine
It is not at all incredible, that a book which has been so long in the possession of mankind should contain many truths as yet undiscovered. -- Bishop Butler
It is clear that there must be difficulties for us in a revelation such as the Bible. If someone were to hand me a book that was as simple to me as the multiplication table, and say, 'This is the Word of God. In it He has revealed His whole will and wisdom,' I would shake my head and say, 'I cannot believe it; that is too easy to be a perfect revelation of infinite wisdom.' There must be, in any complete revelation of God's mind and will and character and being, things hard for the beginner to understand; and the wisest and best of us are but beginners. --R.A. Torrey
The letter of Scripture is a veil just as much as it is a revelation; hiding while it reveals, and yet revealing while it hides.—Andrew Jukes
Coming to the Bible through commentaries is much like looking at a landscape through garret windows, over which generations of unmolested spiders have spun their webs. --Henry Ward Beecher
There is a way of reading the Bible that seems to leave God far away, off in the shadows somewhere. It is all information and technicalities and knowledge, but it feels like you're sitting with your back towards God. You come up against a difficulty or question, and you go to books, you ask pastors, friends, strangers on the internet, anyone but Him. Gradually God gets smaller and dimmer. --Unknown
Some people like to read so many [Bible] chapters every day. I would not dissuade them from the practice, but I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses all day than rinse my hand in several chapters. Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up in your very soul, till it saturates your heart! --Charles Haddon Spurgeon
In most parts of the Bible, everything is implicitly or explicitly introduced with "Thus saith the Lord". It is... not merely a sacred book but a book so remorselessly and continuously sacred that it does not invite -- it excludes or repels -- the merely aesthetic approach. You can read it as literature only by a tour de force... It demands incessantly to be taken on its own terms: it will not continue to give literary delight very long, except to those who go to it for something quite different. I predict that it will in the future be read, as it always has been read, almost exclusively by Christians. --C.S. Lewis
We approach Scripture with minds already formed by the mass of accepted opinions and viewpoints with which we have come into contact, in both the Church and the world.…It is easy to be unaware that it has happened; it is hard even to begin to realize how profoundly tradition in this sense has moulded us. –J.I. Packer
The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian. --AW. Tozer
The Bible is a harp with a thousand strings. Play on one to the exclusion of its relationship to the others, and you will develop discord. Play on all of them, keeping them in their places in the divine scale, and you will hear heavenly music all the time. --William P. White
For some years now I have read through the Bible twice every year. If you picture the Bible to be a mighty tree and every word a little branch, I have shaken every one of these branches because I wanted to know what it was and what it meant. --Martin Luther
Here, then, is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy. --R. C. Sproul
One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed. --Leonard Ravenhill
The scripture in times of disputes is like an open town in times of war, which serves in differently the occasions of both parties. --Alexander Pope
Each epoch has found in the Gospels what it sought to find there, and has overlooked what it wished to overlook. -- Ludwig von Mises
The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that. --Mccosh
Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand. --Mark Twain
The Bible is the greatest example of the whole being greater that its parts. –Michael Phillips.
Do you wish to find out the really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer. --Napolean
The Bible is worth all other books which have ever been printed. --Patrick Henry
Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in ever greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires, beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the gospels, it will not go.—Goethe
Who decides what is right and wrong in the world? Who has the authority to define morality for all of creation? It is not the courts, congress, the media, public opinion, the "politically correct" police, the "tolerance" brigade or even the church. The only answer has been, is and always will be Jesus Christ. You can find His opinion on a great variety of subjects in His best seller... The Bible. --Jeffrey E. Ramey
You may as well quit reading and hearing the Word of God, and give it to the devil, if you do not desire to live according to it. -- Martin Luther
The word of God hidden in the heart is a stubborn voice to suppress.--Billy Graham
It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible. --George Washington
I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this Book that you can by reason and the balance by faith, and you will live and die a better man. It is the best Book which God has given to man. --Abraham Lincoln
I have always said that a studious perusal of the sacred volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands. --Thomas Jefferson.
So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of society. I have for many years made it a practice to read through the Bible once every year. --John Quincy Adams
If there is anything in my thoughts or style to commend, the credit is due to my parents for instilling in me an early love of the Scriptures. --Daniel Webster
Whatever merit there is in anything that I have written is simply due to the fact that when I was a child my mother daily read me a part of the Bible and daily made me learn a part of it by heart. --John Ruskin
I am much afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the scriptures do not reign paramount. --Martin Luther
If you believe that exposing your children to violence is a problem, by all means keep them away from the Bible. --Rev. Charles Henderson
The Old Testament, as everyone who has looked into it is aware, drips with blood; there is, indeed, no more bloody chronicle in all the literature of the world. --Henry L. Mencken
The New Testament is the very best book that ever was or ever will be known in the world. --Charles Dickens
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. --Thomas Carlyle
Sink the Bible to the bottom of the ocean, and still man's obligations to God would be unchanged. He would have the same path to tread, only his lamp and guide would be gone; the same voyage to make, but his chart and compass would be overboard! --Henry Ward Beecher
The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a crime against humanity. --Immanuel Kant
The Bible has been the Magna Charta of the poor and oppressed. The human race is not in a position to dispense with it. --Thomas Huxley
It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially a Bible-reading people. The principles of the Bible are the groundwork of human freedom. -- Horace Greeley
We have used the Bible as if it were a mere special constable's handbook, an opium dose for keeping beasts of burden patient while they are overloaded. --Charles Kingsley
The Bible itself is intolerant, and true followers of God's word should be as well.-- Bob Jones III, president of Bob Jones University
Any number of people assume that the Bible says that Eve ate an apple, or that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Yet the Bible never says a word about whales or apples. In the former case it refers to a fish, which might imply any sort of sea-monster; and in the second, to the essential experience of fruition, or tasting the fruit of the tree, which is obviously more general and even more mystical . . . The things that look silly now are the first rationalistic explanations rather than the first religious or primitive outlines. If those original images had been left in their own natural mystery of dark fruition or dim monsters of the deep, nobody would have quarrelled with them half so much . . . But it is unfair to turn round and blame the Bible because of all these legends and jokes and journalistic allusions, which are read into the Bible by people who have not read the Bible.--G. K. Chesterton
Just because the Bible says something doesn’t make it truth if what you are saying from the Bible is slanted, distorted, mis-applied, or merely the letter of the word. --J. Preston Eby
One of the many divine qualities of the Bible is that it does not yield its secrets to the irreverent and the censorious. --James I. Packer
The inspiration of the Bible depends upon the ignorance of the gentleman who reads it. --Robert Ingersoll
When you are reading a book in a dark room, and come to a difficult part, you take it to a window to get more light. So take your Bibles to Christ. --Robert Murray M'Cheyne
There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history.-- Sir Isaac Newton
More than 400 errors in the first edition of the King James Bible were corrected in a subsequent edition two years later. --Neil Lightfoot, How We Got the Bible pg. 59
That God cannot lie, is no advantage to your argument, because it is no proof that priests can not, or that the Bible does not. --Thomas Paine
The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it. --Napoleon
The observant man recognizes many mysteries into which he can not pretend to see, and he remembers that the world is too wide for the eye of one man. But the modern sophists are sure of everything, especially if it contradicts the Bible. --Charles Haddon Spurgeon
The Bible is a collection of fantastic legends without scientific support.-- The Communist Dictionary issued by the Soviet State Publishing
I am going to put the Bible out of business. --Robert Ingersoll
Another century and there will not be a Bible on earth! --Voltaire
Voltaire expected that within fifty years of his lifetime there would not be one Bible in the world. His house is now a distribution center for Bibles in many languages. --Corrie Ten Boom
Were we allowed to read the Bible as we do all other books, we would admire its beauties, treasure its worthy thoughts, and account for all its absurd, grotesque and cruel things, by saying that its authors lived in rude, barbaric times. But we are told that it was written by inspired men; that it contains the will of God; that it is perfect, pure, and true in all its parts; the source and standard of all moral and religious truth; that it is the star and anchor of all human hope; the only guide for man, the only torch in Nature's night. These claims are so at variance with every known recorded fact, so palpably absurd, that every free, unbiased soul is forced to raise the standard of revolt. –Robert Ingersoll
The Catholics have a Pope. Protestants laugh at them, and yet the Pope is capable of intellectual advancement. In addition to this, the Pope is mortal, and the church cannot be afflicted with the same idiot forever. The Protestants have a book for their Pope. The book cannot advance. Year after year, and century after century, the book remains as ignorant as ever. --Robert Ingersoll
The value of the Old Testament may be dependant on what seems its imperfection. It may repel one use in order that we may be forced to use it in another way—to find the Word in it…to re-live, while we read, the whole Jewish experience of God’s gradual and graded self-revelation, to feel the very contentions between the Word and the human material through which it works. –C.S. Lewis
There is an old Italian proverb about the nature of translation: “Traddutore, traditore!” This means simply, “Translators—traitors!” Of course, as you can see, something is lost in the translation of this pithy expression: there is great similarity in both the spelling and the pronunciation of the original saying, but these get diluted once they are put in English dress. Even the translation of this proverb illustrates its truth! -- Dr. Daniel Wallace, “The History of the English Bible”
We do not deny, nay we affirm and avow, that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English, set forth by men of our profession,...containeth the word of God, nay, is the word of God: as the King’s speech which he uttered in Parliament, being translated into French, Dutch, Italian, and Latin, is still the King’s speech, though it not be interpreted by every translator with the like grace nor peradventure so fitly for phrase, nor so expressly for sense, everywhere.--From the translators to the readers in the introduction to the original 1611 King James Bible.
The Bible is the written word of God, and because it is written it is confined and limited by the necessities of ink and paper and leather. The Voice of God, however, is alive and free as the sovereign God is free. 'The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.' The life is in the speaking words. God's word in the Bible can have power only because it corresponds to God's Word in the universe. It is the present Voice which makes the written word powerful. Otherwise it would lie locked in slumber within the covers of a book. --A. W. Tozer
The longer you read the Bible, the more you will like it; it will grow sweeter and sweeter; and the more you get into the spirit of it, the more you will get into the spirit of Christ. --Romaine
The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.-- A. W. Tozer

* Have not been peer-reviewed by Cambridge Theological Seminary;
