Bible Quotes

Reading and understanding the Bible involves lots and lots of interpretation. Not just in light of the world and culture around us, but in reference to other parts of the Bible Picture Quote #1

When asked what’s more important, praying or reading the Bible? I ask, what’s more important breathing in or breathing out? Picture Quote #1

Reading the Bible can be like meeting someone you don’t know who, oddly, somehow seems to know you deeply. It’s uncanny Picture Quote #1

It is well to remember that reading books about the Bible is a very different thing to searching the Word for oneself Picture Quote #1

I first pitched the idea of doing a series of cartoons based on Bible stories. They didn’t much like it Picture Quote #1

Well, the idea of God as a supreme being means that he is simply like us, writ large, and just bigger and better, the end product of the series; whereas this divine personality that we meet in the Bible was, for centuries, regarded simply as a symbol of a greater transcendence that lay beyond it Picture Quote #1

Producing a series is like being Lewis and Clark: You know where you’re going, you just don’t know how you’re going to get there. When people say, ‘You should create a bible for your show,’ I say, ‘You don’t want a bible. It’ll prevent you from making discoveries along the way.’ And that’s what happened on ‘The X-Files.’ Picture Quote #1

Teacher: If your daughter knew her spelling words as well as her Bible stories she’d get into Harvard. Me: I’ll settle for Heaven Picture Quote #1

The teachings of Jesus begin in story and end in symbol - they begin in parable and end in us. These are not Bible stories that we learn; these are our stories Picture Quote #1

I was raised in the church by my grandmother who made sure we went to Sunday School, read the Bible and went to church every Sunday. Every night we read Bible stories before we went to bed Picture Quote #1

I’m on the record as saying things like I think it’s important for people to understand their Bible stories, not because I’m an advocate of religion - clearly, I’m not - but once again, what comes from the Bible has formed such an important part of our culture Picture Quote #1

The Bible is filled with intriguing stories about complex and flawed human beings who ponder immense moral questions and engage in colossal clashes with evil Picture Quote #1

The story of Hosea and Gomer is the second most powerful picture of God’s love in the Bible. Other than Christ’s death, there is no greater picture of love Picture Quote #1

Individual stories from the Bible had been made into movies, but no one had taken on the arc of the Bible story as one meta-narrative from Genesis to Revelation Picture Quote #1

The Bible is not just one book, but an entire library, with stories, songs, poetry, letters and history, as well as literature that might more obviously qualify as ‘religious.’ Picture Quote #1

The story of the Jews in the Bible is replete with incidents of their ingratitude to God for His gifts to them: incidents that just as repeatedly merit and receive punishment Picture Quote #1

The whole Bible is the story of men and women trying to get back to God, to overcome that sin with sacrifices, good works, sermons, prophesy, witnessing, giving all kinds of things. It never worked Picture Quote #1

The biblical story is in dialogue with the other stories of its time. And if the Bible can be in dialogue with other cultures, why can’t the people who are descendants of the Bible be in dialogue with other cultures? Picture Quote #1

The practice of shaving makes its first appearance in the Bible in connection with the story of Joseph, who as a young man was sold by his brothers into slavery in Egypt, where he was subsequently imprisoned on false charges Picture Quote #1

Perhaps if I knew I would be stranded on an island with but one book, I would choose the Bible. For no religious reason whatsoever, but because of the varieties of stories, which might be useful as the days pass Picture Quote #1

Many Christians understand the Bible to be a collection of stories without an overarching narrative Picture Quote #1

The yeshiva where I studied considers itself modern Orthodox, not ultra-Orthodox. We followed a rigorous secular curriculum alongside traditional Talmud and Bible study Picture Quote #1
