Historical and Literary Outlines of the Old Testament

Excerpt from Historical and Literary Outlines of the Old Testament: With an Introduction in Which Are Presented Discussions of Materials, Manuscripts, Versions, Etc
This book is a class-room growth and was prepared primarily for the writers own students. For more than ten years the author has been offering a course in the literature of the English Bible as a part of the yearly work of the English Department of West Virginia University, and the materials here presented have been gathered in the form of lectures, historical outlines, and literary syllabi, for these courses. The claim for the book is not that it is particularly original, but that the things it presents are put into such form as to be suggestive, practical, and interesting. There is far too little known of the rich treasures of law, history, poetry, song, and story, which the Bible holds in store for those who will patiently study it. If this little book shall lead even a few students into fuller knowledge and clearer appreciation of the marvelous literature of the Bible, its object will have been attained.
