| Description | "A book that every Bible reader will be better for having"—United Presbyterian. "A concise treatise from the popular point of view for the aid of Sunday school teachers and lay workers. It deals with the criticism of each book of the Bible, and also considers some of the latest proofs of its truth"—Fleming H. Revell Company. This is a handy book that is a defense of our faith in God and His Word, written in simple terms for Christian workers. It goes through the books of the Bible briefly explaining the critics’ position and the proofs that God’s Word was inspired and remains authentic. It also explains the original texts and how they were assembled into our present canon. Part II goes through the world religions, showing how they are no match for Christianity. It also mentions the archaeological proofs, miracles, prophecy, and the deity of Christ. Part III is a series of articles dealing with Biblical Inspiration. This is an excellent recourse to bolster one’s faith in a world that tries to do all they can to downplay the sacred Words of God. |
