Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bible History: With Maps, Illustrations, Examination Questions, Scriptural Tables, and Glossary; For the Use of Colleges, Schools, Families, and Biblical Students Had I not seen many deficiencies in the Bible histories which have issued from the Catholic Press, I could not have been induced to write the present work. There is a sad desideratum common to them in the absence of information about the Bible itself, its writers, and the books of which it is composed. Fully one-half of the sacred volume is devoted to the doctrines, laws, discipline, and destiny of God´s people. That portion of the Bible is the more important, both because its direct aim is the inculcation of faith and morals, and since, according to high authority, the Spirit of God was not accredited to the sacred writers as mere chroniclers of human affairs. A book which is based on the annals of the Hebrew nation and the records of primeval Christianity, and which omits the main work of the Holy Spirit, the Author of the sacred books, seems foreign to the scope of the Bible, and presents an historical edifice of a miraculous character without showing the foundation on which that structure stands. The Bible is a letter of the Almighty to the human race. Is it proper to dwell upon only a portion of that letter, and pass by in silence its Author and history? Besides, history, whether it be of the Synagogue or the Church, of the Greeks or the Romans, should be so written as not to break the flow of the narrative by the introduction of matter whose importance is not as great as that of the historical subject.
