Excerpt from An Outline of the Books of the Bible This little book had its origin in a desire to be helpful to young Christians, and to others who wish to know more of God's word. It is believed that there have been only two methods adopted of presenting a synopsis of that word. One is to give the leading thought of each chapter, section, or paragraph, which in fact is to write a commentary or exposition. While this is unquestionably the best plan if intelligently executed, it is open to the grave objection that it requires the production of so large a book, it is practically placed beyond the reach of many poor believers, who have no time for extended study. The other plan seeks to embody in a single phrase the general meaning of each book, as when it is said that Genesis sets forth election, Exodus redemption, Leviticus priestly service and worship, Numbers our wilderness walk and warfare. But while these words may be suggestive as keynotes, it is obvious that they convey little instruction as to the real character and distinctive teachings of the various books.
