“Mr. Speaker, it is always enjoyable to speak to Bible Week and always enjoyable for Doug Lamborn to give me a couple of minutes. National Bible Week, of course, begins every year on Thanksgiving and continues for the week after Thanksgiving. One of the prior speakers, searching to say something unique about the Bible, talked about the number of books that have been printed. I would like to point out, since we are commanded under the Bible to share the Word of Christ and spread the Word of Christ around the world, the Bible, I believe, is the most translated book in the world. The Bible is right now translated into 3,700 different languages, which is a testament to the degree to which Christians are taking it to heart to spread the book throughout the world. Now, the reason we have Bible Week in the United States is the Bible is more important than any other book in putting together our Constitution, putting together the laws we live under. There was a study done by something called the American Political Science Review in which they reviewed all the writings by our Founding Fathers: John Dickinson, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, the whole bunch. They found that the Bible was the most cited book of our forefathers. That is not surprising. What I did find interesting is that one-third of the citations in the writings of our forefathers were from the Bible itself.…”
