Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) - The Bible in Our History

From one of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's "Fireside Chat" broadcasts in 1935:

"We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a nation, without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic. Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity."
