"'In the beginning was the word' and the word is captured in books. As we endeavor to better understand Islam these days, we learn that the prophet Mohammed had great respect for the Jews and the Christians because they were people of the Book. It is perhaps helpful to think of the Maine Humanities Council as people of the book. It is with pleasure, pride, and great humility that I realize that my friends have thrown the book at me."
