PREFACE.
This book represents years of study. It3 contents have
been tested again and again in the classroom in classes
composed, in some instances, of representatives of thirty-six
denominations. However, it is not supposed for a moment
that it exhausts all the Bible has to say on the topics treated,
much less that it takes up and exhausts every topic dealt
with in the Bible. The Bible is the one inexhaustible book.
This work is simply an attempt at a careful, unbiased, sys
tematic, thorough-going, inductive study and statement of
Bible truth. The method of the book is rigidly inductive.
The material contained in the Bible is brought together,
carefully scrutinized, and then what is seen to be contained
in it stated in the most exact terms possible. Exactness of
statement is first aimed at in every instance, then clearness
of statement. Beauty and impressiveness must always yield
to precision and clearness. The scripture from which a pro
position is deduced is always given before the proposition.
The methods of modern science are applied to Bible study
thorough analysis followed by careful synthesis. Though no
Hebrew nor Greek words appear in the work, it is based
upon a careful study of the original text as decided by the
best textual critics (especially Tischendorf and Westcott and
Hort in the New Testament, though other editors, and the
manuscripts themselves, have been considered in some in
stances). Wherever possible the text of the Authorized
Version has been given. In many instances this was im
possible, as the Revised Version is manifestly much more
exact. Had it appeared that the Revised Version would soon
obtain that general acceptance and use which it seems to
