Footnote 40 — Abraham Heschel, God in Search of Man (New York: Farrar, Strauss, and Giroux, 1983), 242.

“Irrefutably, indestructibly, never wearied by time, the Bible wanders through the ages … as if it belonged to every soul on earth. It speaks in every language and in every age … We all draw upon it, and it remains pure, inexhaustible, and complete. In three thousand years it has not aged a day. It is a book that cannot die. Oblivion shuns its pages. Its power is not subsiding. In fact, it is still at the very beginning of its career.”
