Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Illustrated History of the Bible, From the Creation of the World to the Close of the Apostolic Era: Being a Full and Complete Account of the Events Narrated in the Sacred Scriptures
The history of the Apostolic era presents a completeness not previously attained in any similar work. The method in which Paley led the way of using the Epistles of St. Paul, not only to Supply the incidents omitted in the Acts, but to set the Apostle's spirit and character in a vivid light, has been followed throughout. Similar use has been made of the Epistles of Peter, John, and James; and this section of the work is completed by a summary of all that is really known both of the Apostles and of the persons associated with them In the history. The unity of this part is preserved by bringing it down to the destruction of Jerusalem; and that catastrophe, which is elsewhere related as an historic event, is here exhibited in the light of our Lord's Omeat. Prophecy.
