Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bible and the Bible Country The aim of the writer of these lessons has been to give information; and also, as still more important, to kindle a desire for information. It has been to impart, but still more to stimulate and arouse. It has been, not so much to urge upon young minds knowledge for which very likely they have no hunger, as to create hunger, by making them aware how many valuable and intensely interesting things there are to be found out, which they do not now know. In other words, his aim has been, not primarily to give to pupils a certain number of facts, however valuable, about the Bible and the land from which the Bible came, but rather to awaken in them a keen and real interest in Palestine, on account of its historic importance, and especially to make them feel that the Bible is a very living and a very great book, about which it is worth their while to learn all they possibly can. To accomplish this, a constant appeal has been made to the pupils´ own intelligence, to their own ability to think and judge and find out things for themselves, and, above all, to their imagination. It has not been deemed sufficient for pupils merely to know things, unless they know them in their relations, their settings, their proper perspective, but especially unless in some degree they imagine them, unless they picture them in their thought, and hence see them as alive. Thus a constant effort has been made, particularly through appeals to the imagination, to cause the dry bones of mere facts to live, to the end that pupils may become permanently interested in the Bible; and that this greatest religious book of the ages may become a really vital factor in their mental and spiritual furnishing.
