Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bible Study Union Lessons: The Story of Our Bible Back of the Bible lies a fascinating story; the story of the men and women who wrote it. They were human beings like ourselves, with their hopes and fears, their dreams and their longings. More than that, they were noble, heroic men and women, whose supreme aim was to help others, by bringing to them the glad tidings of the living God. They sought to accomplish this aim first of all through personal contact and teaching, and then as a secondary method, through writings. Each book in the Bible, therefore, was written for a definite purpose, and originally played an important part in some great hero´s life-battle for God and for the right. Sometimes the book itself describes or suggests the circumstances which called it forth, and the special purpose for which it was written. Sometimes we must infer the story from references found in other books, and by our knowledge of ancient life and customs. For centuries men have been patiently searching for these facts. As a result of their work it is now possible to tell the story of the Bible as a whole; how its various books came to be written and what results they achieved; and finally how these books were preserved through the centuries and thus handed down to us. This is the story which will be told in the following pages. We shall begin with the story of the New Testament although chronologically, it might seem that we should begin with the Old. It is easier to understand the conditions in which the New Testament arose, for the very reason that they are more like those of modem life; and this study of the origin of the New Testament will give us just the key we need with which to approach the Old Testament. This study should accomplish two things. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
