Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines for the Study of Biblical History and Literature
As the title of the volume indicates, it contains merely outlines which direct the student in the systematic study of the Bible itself and in the discriminating use 'oi the best reference literature. The topics are so arranged that one or more phases of the work may be omitted without breaking the continuity of the course. For example, those desiring a scientific grasp of the history will give their chief attention to the sections dealing with the sources. Others, whose main interest lies in the books of the Bible and their contents, will emphasize especially the sections which treat of the literature of each period. No pains have been spared to make the outlines definite enough to become a help ful guide to the student who does his work without further direction, and yet elastic enough to give free play to the experienced teacher. The difficulty of this combination need not be emphasized; the authors fully realize that their work will be Open to criticism because it fails to meet fully either ideal.
