Introduction

INTRODUCTION THIS YEAR is the four hundredth anniversary of the printing of the English Bible. President Jas. F. Cox conceived the idea of having the lectures of Abilene Christian College Lectures for 1936 relate particularly to the history of the Bible. He named the subjects, set the order of their delivery, and selected the speakers. When duly considered the subjects and their arrangement will be seen to provide an exceptionally comprehensive survey of the field embraced. It is felt that this is a monumental work and one that will do good wherever it is read. The reader will be interested in knowing that the lectures were delivered before audiences of hundreds from various states. The lectures are offered now in print in order that those who were not privileged to attend Lecture Week for 1936 may nevertheless have the information the lectures impart. The volume is sent forth with the prayer that the blessings of Eternal Father may attend it.
