О книге

Excerpt from The Bible by Modern Light: Being an Entirely New Edition, Largely Re-Written, of Hours With the Bible

The great advance in every branch of Biblical knowledge which has marked the ten years during which Hours with the Bible have been before the world, has necessarily thrown much fresh light on the Sacred Records, from many sources. Egypt, Assyria, and Babylonia have, alike, contributed largely to the illustration of these historical, archaeological, geographical, and philological details, elucidating and illuminating countless points hitherto imperfectly understood or wholly overlooked.

This new edition is the fruit of continuous effort through successive years, to note each particular of progressive Bible illustration from whatever direction, and that no industry has been spared in the pursuit of this aim will, I believe, be recognized from the list of authorities printed with this volume; more than half of them being new.

Since the original edition was published, moreover, I have travelled in Egypt, the Holy Land, and Syria, and have thus been able to give descriptions of the various localities in the Bible story from personal knowledge, which is very much better than any knowledge merely derived from books.
