Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bible Studies From the Old and New Testaments: Covering the International Sunday-School Lessons for 1892 This volume of Bible Studies has been written in India, in the midst of incessant evangelistic labors. Partly in Calcutta, partly in the "Heart of the Himalayas"; partly on the burning plains of the North-west provinces, in the Holy City of Benares, where Hinduism is entrenched in the midst of a people and a priesthood who have lived, taught, and practiced the rites and ceremonies of this "world-old religion" for more than three thousands of years; partly in Lucknow, the beautiful city of the late Kings of Oudh; partly in Agra, the famous city of Akbar the Great and Shah Jahan; partly in Delhi, the romantic and picturesque capital of the Great Moguls. Its last chapters were finished and this preface is now being written amid the beautiful Himalayan Hills, in the bosom of which nestles the fair summer capital of India, under the rule of Great Britain. The author has had few books of reference to consult, and has been compelled to write during such fragments of time as he could snatch between two and three evangelistic meetings a day, sometimes among natives and sometimes among European audiences. He has enjoyed one advantage, however. The Old Testament has had a fresh illumination in his mind by reason of the Oriental scenes and customs which have been the familiar every-day sights of this year. The temples, the groves, the gardens, the dress and the manner of the people out here are essentially the same as they were in the days of Isaiah and Jeremiah. There are temples on every hill-top and in every grove. Baal-worship, under other names and forms, is the same; the sins and practices of the people are the same as those into which the corrupt kings and people of Israel had fallen at the time that these apostles and preachers tenderly besought them to return to the Lord. The scenery which afforded them their finest imagery is the same and the familiar every-day customs of the people are the same.
