1.  THE STORY OF BIBLE by Hendrik Willem Van Loon (1882-1944): For many centuries, it was almost the only book your ancestors possessed or cared to read. They knew it by heart. They made the Law of Moses the highest law of the land. (Foreword)

2.  The new Testament centers around one single figure. It tells the story of a simple carpenter of the village of Nazareth, who asked nothing of life and gave all. (Foreword)

3.  It is not good for boys to know that their father likes them better than their brothers. It is apt to spoil them. (Chapter 4)

4.  Almost every country, during the early period of settlement, passes through such an agony of bloodshed. (Chapter 9)

5.  Jephthah kept his word. He took his daughter and he sacrificed her on Jehovah's altar and burned her body and peace reigned once more in the land of Israel. (Chapter 9)

6.  According to old Jewish law, no layman had the right to touch the Ark. That was the exclusive business of the priests. (Chapter 11)

7.  And the Chinese, thus far, are the only people who have ever had the patience to build protective walls across a desert. (Chapter 13)(迄今为止,只有中国人有过耐心建立起一座跨越沙漠的防护墙。)

8.  Those who sat in the seats of the mighty had too much and those who lived in slavery had too little. But the latter outnumbered the former a thousand to one. (Chapter 27)
