Twain on the Bible

Many of you who know me are aware that one of my favorite authors is Mark Twain. By many accounts, including his own, Twain was a Presbyterian. He ruminated often and at length on religious topics.

On more than one occasion, I have quoted Twain in a sermon. I am fond of what he had to say about the Bible. Twain wrote: "Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand." Something to consider as we embark on our reading adventure in the fall.

Peace.
