Excerpt from The Biblical World, Vol. 15
To the Readers:
With the present issue of the Biblical World we begin the publication of a series of "Constructive Studies in the Life of Christ." In itself this is but the carrying on of a policy which we have followed from the beginning of the existence of the Biblical World. Almost every volume has contained a series of Bible studies, sometimes running parallel to the current lessons of the International series, sometimes independent of them. In one respect, however, these studies represent in their specific aim a new departure, and, as we believe, a step forward. Readers who have followed our editorials for a year or two know that it is our conviction that the Sunday school should have a course of study as carefully graded and in all respects as intelligently constructed as any other school. In the construction of such a curriculum the religious aim and the educational character of the Sunday school should both alike be clearly recognized and provided for. Speaking from the educational point of view, the aim of such a curriculum, as a whole, should be to give to the student as thorough an understanding as possible of the history of divine revelation, in so far as this has been made through and is recorded in the Bible. It by no means follows that the whole of the curriculum should be historical, in the narrow sense of the term.
