The great Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare, was known for the greatest plays ever written in history. What is interesting about the timeless masterpieces he wrote is that all his major work were inspired by the Bible! It is a very little known fact.  Over 30 years, as Shakespeare wrote Macbeth, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar etc, we can grasp the biblical imagery of the timeless words and quotes which are still used today, even in regular conversation! Many of us can quote “Romeo, oh Romeo…..” or “Friends, Romans, countrymen”….or “to Be or not to Be, that is the question”. There are hundreds of those in books, on websites and more all over the world.

But the one that intrigues the most is this quote, written by Shakepeare’s hand in his last will and testament: “In the name of God, Amen. I, William Shakespeare…, in perfect health and memory, God be praised, do make and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and form following. That is to say, first, I commend my soul into the hands of God my Creator, hoping and assuredly believing, through the only merits of Jesus Christ my Saviour, to be made partaker of life everlasting, and my body to the earth whereof it is made.”
