Opis: The Religious Experience of Israel, Vol. 19 (Classic Reprint) - Hutchins William James

Excerpt from The Religious Experience of Israel, Vol. 19

These Studies have been prepared at the request of the Commission on Bible Study and Other Christian Education Books of the International Committee of Young Men's Christian Associations, and the work connected with them has been done in general cooperation with that Commission. They are intended both for use in Bible study classes of adults and young people in Christian Associations and churches, and for personal study. The request was for a book which would form an introduction to the study of the Old Testament and give a guide to a general survey of the material.

In the individual Studies are given most of the significant portions of the Scripture to be considered. It is well, however, for the student always to have at hand his open Bible, that the context may be easily studied.

Passages to be read will be frequently indicated, though not quoted. A story is told of an Association Secretary overseas, who stood in his hut, helping the Tommies who were leaving for the trenches. It was midnight. A young boy made his way nervously to the counter. "Want something, lad" "Yes, sir. I have a Bible, and I don't know much about it. I'd like you to mark some passages in it. I am going to the trenches tonight." While the Secretary was marking this boys book, half a dozen others came up, and said, "Mark mine, too, sir." If one will study the passages quoted and indicated, he will have "marked" many of the most precious words in the Old Testament.

The Studies have been arranged to cover the daily readings of half a year. But it is hoped that this scheme may be a guide and not a chain. Often it will be wise for a student or a class to spend a good deal of time upon a single Study, irrespective of the arrangement of the text.
