Lionel Trilling Quote
It is one thing, then, to say, "The Bible contains the religion revealed by God," and quite another to say, "Whatever is contained in the Bible is religion, and was revealed by God." If the latter be accepted, metaphor and allegory become literal statements and the errors and absurdities of bibliolatry follow.
Ch. 11: Joy Whose Grounds Are True - Matthew Arnold (1939)
