The Bible and President Teddy Roosevelt of the United States of America




In the Beginning, there was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

- Gospel of John 1:1






Almost every man who has by his life-work added to the sum of human achievement of which the race is proud, of which our people are proud, almost every such man has based his life-work largely upon the teachings of the Bible.

- Theodore Roosevelt, Former U.S. President (1901-1909)


I enter a most earnest plea that in our hurried and rather bustling life of today we do not lose the hold that our forefathers had on the Bible.

- Theodore Roosevelt, Former U.S. President (1901-1909)

I wish to see the Bible study as much a matter of course in the secular colleges as in the seminary.

- Theodore Roosevelt, Former U.S. President (1901-1909)


No educated man can afford to be ignorant of the Bible, and no uneducated man can afford to be ignorant of the Bible.

- Theodore Roosevelt, Former U.S. President (1901-1909)

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.

- Theodore Roosevelt, Former U.S. President (1901-1909)

Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the 
teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally-I do not mean figuratively, but literally-impossible for us to figure what that loss would be if these teachings were removed. We would lose all the standards by which we now judge both public and private morals; all the standards towards which we, with more or less resolution, strive to raise ourselves.

- Theodore Roosevelt, Former U.S. President (1901-1909)
