A Brief Bible History: A Survey of the Old and New Testaments

A survey of biblical history written for teacher training and popular reading, in thirty-eight short lessons: fifteen tracing the development of the church in Old Testament times from the beginnings in Genesis to the return from exile, and twenty-three on the life of Christ and the apostolic church from the intertestamental preparation to the close of the apostolic age, each lesson ending with review questions.
