Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old Testament Stories These stories from the Old and New Testaments have been written because many of the books, similar in purpose, now in circulation, are considered unsatisfactory for various reasons, In consequence, many Convents and schools, as well as a considerable number of private individuals, have asked for something to replace them. I need not say that nothing has been aimed at in the following pages, by way of literary effect or of erudition. It has been hoped that extreme simplicity combined with a minimum of aid to visualisation, will have caused the stories to be at once loyal to their original and appealing to children´s imagination. Reverence for the divine narrative claims that we should desert the text as little as possible, and every kind of modesty exacts from us the recognition that we never can improve upon the Bible; and if I am frankly to confess my own preference, it is that even children should be taught to love the history of God´s chosen People by reading it immediately in the sacred pages, though I pray, the while, for that perfected translation which has so long been promised us. Therefore these ´Bible Stories´ aim at seeing themselves discarded, directly they have done their work, for God´s own library. I was especially asked to insert a very few comments of some homiletic character.; and if I have arranged these tales with any intention, it is that the guiding Spirit in this history might be recognised, and that the convergence of type and hope and incident towards Him who was to Come should be made clear.
