Excerpt from A Biblical Introduction, Vol. 1 Brief notes as to the light thrown by Assyrian, Babylonian, and other inscriptions on the history of Israel have been added to the passages of the historical books which they illustrate. Under each book, or - where the present books are collections of earlier works - under each section, some account is given of its use in the New Testament, this account, however, is not exhaustive. The references to Driver's Introduction are to the Sixth Edition, but, except where specially stated, the numbers of the pages are those of the Fifth and earlier editions, which are given in brackets [ ] in the text of the Sixth. Special attention is called to the explanation of symbols and technical terms on pp. 15 ff., 24 f., 32, 62 n. This account of Biblical criticism is published in the faith that "Any criticism of the human element in the Bible, which makes it more truly human, more analogous to the workings of the human spirit other-where, tends without question to enhance our sense of its reality and worth." The authors of this volume trust that it may help its readers to a truer understanding of the sacred Scriptures, and to a fuller appreciation of their unique importance, and may confirm them in the evangelical recognition of the supreme authority of the Bible as interpreted and applied by the Holy Spirit for the spiritual life.
