Excerpt from Myth and Legend in the Bible The growth of that ancient body of literature out of which the Bible was to be gradually formed makes a story so romantic and significant, and has had such consequences for humanity, that unexampled interest attaches to it.

Book Description
Excerpt from Myth and Legend in the Bible This is a book for ordinary readers. As a journalist, I have tried to make its story as plain and interesting as anything in the newspapers. The facts it contains will come as a great surprise to many people; but this is not because they are new knowledge - it is only because they have not been popularized. Though you may find them in the Home University Library and the People's Books, which two firms of publishers sell cheaply, one must be a student to dig them out. The truth about the Bible, a popular book, ought not to be so technically told. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Stories From the Bible I have endeavoured to re-tell some of the chief stories of the Old Testament in the hope that what I have written may, with God's blessing, help those who teach and those who learn. To account for and defend the omissions that I have made and the explanations that I have added is impossible within the limits of a preface. They must be left to the kind judgment of my readers, who will not fail to understand that a task which may at first sight seem easy is really very difficult. The language of Scripture has been commonly followed, sometimes imitated to the best of my power. Explanations which could not be so expressed have been put into the shape of notes. I hope to follow this volume with a second in which others of the Old Testament Stories will be given. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bible Heroes: Stories From the Bible That no busy mother may say, I cannot take time to gather from the Bible the simple lessons that my children need, this book of little stories - together making one - has been written. I have tried to preserve the pure outlines of the sacred record from the vivid description and the suggestive supposition that are sometimes introduced to add charm to the story, and in all quoted speech I have used the exact words of the author ized version of the Scriptures, so that the earliest impression made upon the memory of the child might be one that should remain.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bible Stories: Old Testament Kings and Prophets, The Exile and Return.* Each period is represented by its most important stories; the purpose of the introduction and notes to each section is to weave all together by indicating briefly the bearing of each story on the general history. Thus it is hoped that the whole volume may leave on a young mind an impression of Old Testament history, in outline complete (however scanty), but with outline supplemented by the most vivid picturing of important points. With the selection of stories no one will be satisfied, least of all the editor. But those who may be inclined to be censorious on this subject should try the experiment of making a selection themselves, and they will see how an editor has to sacrifice his own favour ites to stern limitations of space and suitability.
