Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Progressive Studies in the Bible An intelligent age is always interested in the agencies that have produced its institutions and the agencies that conserve them. The thoughtful student o!history will readily admit that the influence of the Hebrew nation to produce twentieth century civilization has been greater than that of any other nation of antiquity. It does not require deep nor prolonged study of social science to discover that the Bible has been an important factor in shaping the civil institutions of to-day. All religions leave their mark on the customs and culture of the countries where they predominate. The Hebrew religion is no exception to the rule. It has had a more potent influence in moulding western thought than any other religion. Christianity is the legitimate outgrowth of it, and wherever Christianity has attained a dominant place, peace, prosperity and happiness are found. These considerations alone ought to give the Bible a place in the curricula of our colleges. They might be re-inforced by weighty moral and spiritual reasons. No time is so favorable for this study as the years of college life. Study is then a business. Later years bring so many other interests and subject most men to such sharp business competition that Bible study is generally desultory and unsatisfactory. The college student, however, is free to study a subject apart from its relation to bread-winning and money-making. But the advantage of any study is in some measure dependent on earnest and hard work by the student himself. From this point of view it has been found difficult to make the study of the Bible an equivalent for one in the other departments of college work.
