Excerpt from A Class-Book of Old Testament History Seeing that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. Thus the fell counsels of the Tempter were accomplished. Through want of faith in God's word, through a longing for independence, through a vain desire to become gods unto themselves, our first parents were beguiled into sin, and when their eyes were opened, instead of greater happiness they now experienced the strange and hither to unknown consciousness of shame, and degradation, and unmeetness for God's presence (gen.

Excerpt from Old Testament History The present treatment of Old Testament history aims to conform to the object of the series as handbooks to Bible study. The Bible itself is, accordingly, the main primary source. In each Section the biblical text, as indicated in the margin, is the basis Of the discussion, and requires the first attention of the student. Where the biblical material is most abundant the history is consequently the fullest. But it has become increasingly evident that the material of the Bible is not chronologically arranged, but that accounts centuries apart in their origin and point of view are Often found side by Side or interwoven with each other. The recognition of this fact is the result of the historical and scientific method of the Bible study of our day. It will account for the order and method here adopted. If the reason for the procedure is not always fully stated, it is due to the design of the series not to deal SO much with the process as with the results achieved. Only where Silence would leave the biblical situation obscure was it deemed necessary to enter into the discussion of critical questions, and then only in the briefest way possible. The logical movement of Old Testament history which is the outcome of the critical use of the biblical material proves ultimately its strongest justification.

Excerpt from A Manual of Lessons in Old Testament History: For Academic Grades The lessons here submitted for your consideration, and for your use if you find them adapted to your needs, are the lessons I have been using for a number of years in my own work. The chief difficulty in the study and teaching of Old Testament history is that there is too much matter for one year's work; but as one year is all that can possibly be allowed for the subject, we must be content, and do our best with the time that is ours. The lessons are therefore long ones. I wish they could be shorter, but know of no other way to cover the subject. They may not seem uniform in length; and they are not, if one considers chapters and verses only. It has seemed to me necessary to be governed more by subjects than by the amount of words to be read and studied; therefore while the average assignment is three chapters, there are some lessons that require more, and some fewer. A few notes will be found in the lessons. These for the most part are quotations from authorities. I think it would be well if there were more of these; but because of a persistent eye trouble, I have not been able to make the selections. I should be glad of your cooperation in this respect, so that future editions, if there shall be such, may contain more valuable notes. Outline maps are placed through the book where they are required by the lessons. These maps may be obtained in loose leaf form for notebooks and drill work if so desired. The review questions I give my pupils as a help in preparing for tests, and sometimes take the questions for examination from these questions. They may be used in various ways. The lists of proper names may be used not only as an aid in spelling and pronunciation, but as a test, by asking, Who was Aaron? or, What was Abana? With the hope that these lessons may lighten your labors, and help your pupils to a better understanding of this important subject, I submit them to you for your use, and suggestions for improvement.
