The Bible is replete with writings relevant to such secular subjects and interests as history, both ancient and modern, literature, poetry, music, art, government, social customs and practices, values, behavioral sciences, and, more generally speaking, that broad range of subject, values, interests, and activities encompassed within the generalized phrase "Western Civilization." To ignore the role of the Bible in the vast area of secular subjects such as hereinabove referred to is to ignore a keystone in the building arch, at least insofar as Western history, values, and culture are concerned.
