Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book About the English Bible Tms volume is simply what its title indicates, A Book about the English Bible. It has grown out of a series of lectures delivered to students in the University of Pennsylvania, the purpose of which was to give a brief account of the English Bible, its immediate sources and their contents, their literary background and surroundings, the forms and characteristics of the constituent books and their relation to each other. To the chapters, in which these subjects are suggested, rather than discussed, have been added several others containing a short history of the translation of the Bible into English, from Saxon times to our own day. Attention is called to the differences between the commonly used English versions as regards contents and translation, and to the reasons for the differences.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Bible It is the Opinion of those especially interested in the study of the English Bible that there is at present something of an awakened interest in the subject. In some of our colleges credit is given for systematic work done in the Sunday school. In many institutions courses are given in biblical literature where the sub ject is presented in its historical development. There are a number of textbooks which cover this ground in a satisfactory manner. This book recognizes at the outset the existing condition that the great majority of our young people are lacking in a proper knowledge of the Bible itself. About half of the work, therefore, is devoted to a direct study of the narratives in order to supply a foundation for the literary study with Which the other half is concerned. It is, hoped that it may be useful to students in schools, colleges, and Sunday schools; and to divinity students who may need to extend their knowledge of the Bible in this direction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of the English Bible The following pages embody the results of an earnest attempt to apply the elementary principles of the study-process as ordinarily understood to the English Bible. The book is nothing more and nothing else than this. The explanation and justification of a discussion so rigidly confined to the sphere of method, are to be sought in the peculiar situation in which we find ourselves. In view of this situation it is offered without misgiving or apology. It is generally conceded that we have fallen upon evil days as regards the popular knowledge and use of the Bible. In many respects our greatest book is as much lost to the people as in the days preceding the discovery of the "book of the law" in the reign of Josiah. The most serious element in this painful situation is that it is really without excuse. The progressive loss of popular interest in the Bible has proceeded coincidently with general advance in popular education, and, specifically, in Biblical Science.

One result of this method, it is hoped, will be that the reader will have nothing whatever to unlearn in the way of inaccurate de scription of and incorrect quotation from early editions. In a subject involving so many minute details it is, perhaps, too much to hope that errors have been avoided. Any inaccuracy brought under the writer's notice by any reader who has first consulted some standard Copy of the edition referred to in the text, will be gratefully corrected in future editions. Many of the words in the extracts from the early editions have been modernised in spelling in order to render them more intelligible to the reader unfamiliar with the forms and peculiarities commonly met with in fifteenth and Sixteenth century English books.
