Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Chosen People: A Compendium of Sacred and Church History for School-Children In drawing up this little book, at the request of several friends, the Author has been chiefly guided by experience of what children require to be told, in order to come to an intelligent perception of the scope of the Scripture narrative treated historically. Since a general view can hardly be obtained without brevity, many events have been omitted in the earlier part, and those only touched upon which have a peculiar significance in tracing the gradual preparation for the work of Redemption; and though one great object has been the illustration of Prophecy, the course of types has been passed over, lest the plain narrative should be confused, since types are rather subjects of devotional contemplation than of history, and they should be perfectly comprehended as facts, before being treated as allegorical. The next portion is little save an abridgement om Prideaux´s Connexion, taken in connection with the conclusions drawn by modern discoveries, as detailed in Mr. G. Rawlinson´s valuable edition of Herodotus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
