19th century text
What will I say of those who seldom or never read the Bible? There are thousands of persons, I fear, who answer this description. They ***know the Book by name***; they know it is commonly regarded as the only Book which teaches us how to live and how to die: but they can never find time for reading it. Newspapers, reviews, novels, romances, they can read, but not the Bible.

the only thing the people know is the name of the Holy Book
They never looked inside, so the only thing they know is that there is a book called "the Bible", nothing more.

They read the name on the cover but never read more
They do not know what it is about.
