I'm not a big quote restoration movement fathers guy, but this one is worth it. Alexander Campbell said this concerning God's Word...the Bible:
The Bible is to the intellectual and moral world of men what the sun is to the planets in our system – the foundation and source of light and life, spiritual and eternal. There is not a spiritual idea in the whole human race that is not drawn from the Bible. As soon will the philosopher’s find an independent sunbeam in nature, as the theologian a spiritual conception in man, independent of the ONE BEST BOOK. (The Christian System, Pg. 3)
Read it. Know it. Live it.
By the way, you can read The Christian SystemHere, if you are so inclined. It is considered to be Alexander Campbell's defining work.
