The Bible a Missionary Book

Excerpt from The Bible a Missionary Book

For the sake of any reader whose interest in missions may be greater than his interest in biblical scholarship, it may be well to define beforehand the attitude which is assumed in these pages, towards critical questions and methods of biblical interpretation. That attitude is not personal to the writer, but is that of the large majority of scholars and exegetes who have in recent years contributed most to the understanding of the Bible.

Dr Hasting s Dictionary of the Bible represents the conclusions up to the present moment of the vast weight of British scholarship. The mingled candour and reverence which are the peculiar note of our English theology, here find their completest expression.
