Shakespeare quotes the Bible roughly 1,350 times in his works, not including biblical allusions or narrative parallels. Recent studies on the works illicit that the man likely thought in Hebrew and Greek much like many theologians of his time, but the profound gift that God granted to the author was his ability to, using a biblical anchor, accurately measure the depths of the human drama of his own day. To him all the world was a stage and all of the comedy, tragedy, history, and fantasy he needed to fill his works with the elements we love could be found in the institutions he frequented, including the English royal court.
