Literacy as the Plumbline to Biblical Standards by Linda Schrock Taylor
Sobran asks how anyone could possibly understand history - "the Reformation without knowing what Catholics and Protestants were fighting about? How can you understand the full significance of the French and Russian revolutions without knowing their religious background and their consequences for religious life?" and notes, " Nearly all the great literature of the last millennium also presupposes a knowledge of the Bible... Mark Twain, himself was not a believer; but he would have been astonished at the idea that you could be literate without knowing the Bible."
