Excerpt from Hours With the Bible, or the Scriptures in the Light of Modern Discovery and Knowledge, Vol. 1: From Creation to the Patriarchs
My aim in this new undertaking, which involves almost more labour than My Life and Words of Christ, has been and will be to bring all that I can gather from every available source to bear on the illustration of the Scriptures. I should like to supply what Doctor Arnold used to long for A people's hand-book to the Bible; not a dry series of papers, but a pleasant, attractive illumination of its pages by the varied lights of modern research and discovery. Whether or not I have succeeded in this first volume, must be left to the reader to determine.
