About the Book

ON the Syrian coast, north of Tyre and Sidon, there was in ancient times a city called Byblos. From this port Phoenician traders carried to the west the Egyptian papyrus, which was used for writing, and from which came our word "paper." The Greeks spoke of the rolls of paper on which their books were written as "biblia," after the name of the place from which the material came. From this custom of antiquity has come our word "Bible," which means literally "books." By habits of speech which were of gradual growth the word represents a particular collection of writings, the sacred literature of the Hebrew and Christian religions. The increasingly recognized supremacy of Christianity among the world's great faiths, and its widening influence among the nations have made the Bible the most conspicuous and impressive of books.The story of its origin and varying experiences through the centuries has profound interest for all intelligent students of its contents. Not without some understanding of the manner in which these documents took form, and the adventures of transmission and translation through which they have passed on their way into our possession, can modern readers of the Bible gain an adequate knowledge of its character and value. This great Book comes to us in many different forms. It is available in several hundred languages, to meet the needs of missionary expansion. In the English tongue it is offered in a score of renderings and editions, all of which have values of their own, and among which it is often difficult to choose. Behind these various versions of the Holy Scriptures there lies a vast amount of consecrated and scholarly labor, -the labor of authors, revisers, editors, copyists, translators, archaeologists, critics, commentators, and other scholars. To the student who wishes to understand the meaning and value of the Bible some competent knowledge of these labors is essential. Upon these elemental inquiries into the origin and history of the Scriptures, the larger questions relating to their inspiration, authority, influence and value naturally rest.It is the purpose of this book to answer some of the most obvious and insistent questions which are sure to arise in the minds of all thoughtful people who deal with the Bible. Alike for those who teach and those who read with awareness these inquiries are inevitable. On themes so vital to faith differences of opinion are unavoidable. The views presented in these chapters are believed to be in harmony with the assured results of reverent and constructive modern scholarship.The literature available on the various phases of biblical study is extensive and rich. Some of the most usable books have been cited in connection with each chapter, under the appropriate chapter headings in the appendix on bibliography. The reader is urged to avail himself of these suggested help as fully as possible
