Book Description
Excerpt from Palestine in the Time of Christ There is one conclusion, however, which I have not been able to refrain from expressing, because it forced itself upon me with ever deepening conviction as the work proceeded. I have given it in the form of an appendix in the last chapter. It is in substance this Jesus Christ was not the natural product of His environ ment; His appearance was a miracle; He came from God. Hence it is that a book of history, a work which is only a record of archaeological observations, subserves, by virtue of the invincible logic of facts, the cause of Christian apologetics. It has indeed been said, that my closing chapter is insufficient; that it should either not have been written, or the question should have been treated in greater fulness. I cannot accept this criticism, because, as I have already said, this chapter seemed to force itself upon me as the natural conclusion of my. Book. But I freely admit that what is still wanting is not one chapter on the'christ, but a complete study of His teaching, His person and work, written in the spirit of the present volume on strictly historic lines. This would require a book to itself, and in this sense the last chapter of the present work is undoubtedly incomplete. It is only a point of departure, the introduction to a volume to be occupied. Wholly with Christ Himself. Some day perhaps I may be privileged to attempt this, and to add my testimony to that of so many others, as to what the Christ was in His proper environment and in the critical age in which He lived.

Excerpt from From Manger to Throne: Embracing a New Life of Jesus the Christ and a History of Palestine and Its People I wrote this book for the masses. Who are the masses? The most of folks. They are the nine hundred and ninety-nine out of the thousand. I hope the title of the book will be suggestive of its contents. There are so many Lives of Christ that I wished to get a name not yet employed.

The East is stationary. In Palestine the same customs have survived not only the most terrible convulsions through which any country has ever passed, but also a total change of the population. The Arabs of to-day have the same practices as the Jews of old. Many of these are described in Genesis, and are as old as the times of the patriarchs. Jewish Children. It is well known that among the Jews the birth of a child was hailed with special delight, and the barrenness of a woman was a reproach, and might even be made sufficient reason for a divorce. There was less joy over the birth of a daughter than of a son; yet much care was bestowed upon her education.1 A midwife assisted at the birth.2 The child was bathed and rubbed with salt to harden the skin, and then wrapped in swaddling clothes.3 The father, who was not present at the time of the birth, then came in and took the child upon his knees. If the grandfather was still living, he sometimes had this privilege.4 It was expressly forbidden to make an exhibition of the children. Philo has an admirable chapter on this subject;5 and although the law of Moses says nothing on this point, it is certain that the exhibition of children, as practised by the Greeks and Romans, horrified the Jews. The mothers 1 EccUis. xlii. 9, 10. 2 Gen. xxxv. 17; xxxviii. 28. 3 Ezek. xvi. 4. Gen. 1. 23. 5 See the fragment of Philo translated by E.

Book Description
Excerpt from Galilee in the Time of Christ The object of this work is to represent Galilee as it was in the time of our Lord. To do this will be, the author feels, a special service to many who are desirous of learning all that can be known of the earthly life of Christ. In fairness to the reader, it should be stated that the substance of this volume appeared as an Essay in 1874, which met with a very flattering reception in England, Germany, and America. The text for the present edition has been thoroughly revised and partly re-written. It is published now in the hope that the perusal of these pages will lead some minds to appreciate more forcibly than they have ever done before that the country where the Master appeared was Divinely chosen for that purpose, and that its natural features symbolise in a great degree both the beauty and the strength of the Christian Religion.
