SHAKESPEARE AND THE BIBLE
Abundant Proof That the Great Poet
Has Not Ignored God in His
Writings.

In contradiction to a statement
made by a French writer asserting
that Shakespeare had ignored God in
his plays, E. III. Sothern looked into
the subject, with the result that he
found that the deity is mentioned no
less than 700 times in the Shake
spearean dramas
Even in Richard ILL.,, he points
out, the supreme being is mentioned
81 times. Shakespeare makes rever-
ent use Of the word Almighty six
times. while the word 'Redeemer' is
twice used in Richard H. The Holy
Ghost is never mentioned, and the
word Savior only once.
THAT Shakespeare was close Bible
student is instanced by the fact that
43 Bible characters are mentioned in
the plays. some of them as many as
ten times. Scripturai incidents and
