"What a precious treasure God has committed into our hands in that he
has given us the Bible. How little do most persons consider how much
they enjoy in that they have the possession of that holy book....What an
excellent book is this, and how far exceeding all human writings....He
that has a Bible, and doesn't observe what is contained [in] it, is like
a man that has a box full of silver and gold, and doesn't know it."
--Jonathan Edwards, quoted in Jonathan Edwards and the Ministry of the Word, Douglas Sweeney
