Russell Kirk Captures The Fundamentalist Mistake, Without Intending To


“It is possible for books to comment upon custom, convention, and continuity; but not for books to create those social and cultural essences. Society brings forth books; books do not bring forth society.”

Translation:

"The Bible, a book of books, comments upon custom, convention and continuity, but it did not intend to create  those social and cultural essences. Christian society brought forth the books of the Bible; the books of the Bible didn't intend to bring forth Christianity."

May peace be upon him.
