Excerpt from Book by Book: Popular Studies on the Canon of ScriptureThese studies originally appeared as Introductions to the various Books of Holy Scripture in The New Illustrated Bible, the last division of which has just been published by Messrs. J. S. Virtue Co., Limited. The names of the authors furnish at once a clear indication and an ample guarantee of the character and quality of the essays; and the circumstance that it is now possible to issue in a single volume a complete and scholarly survey of the questions affecting the Sacred Canon Which have of recent years caused so much anxiety, will, it is hoped, be considered a sufficient justification for reproducing them in the present.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
