> Didn't his father force him to study the Bible? Hi Michael P, I imagine so. It would have been very uncommon indeed for a son of a manufacturer growing up in the 1820's and 1830's in the Rhine Province of Prussia _not_ to have been required to study The Bible. A knowledge of religion and scripture would have almost certainly been expected, also, for a philosophy student in college. [Indeed, even today there are departments called "Philosophy and Religion Department" at some well known US colleges. Last I heard there was an OPE-L member who had the distinction of being Chair of such a Dept. -- even though I think s/he is an atheist. Can you guess who?] What was there about this particular quote, though, that so endeared it to Engels that he would repeatedly cite it? In solidarity, Jerry
