Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Brief Summary of the History and Doctrine of the Holy Scriptures: In Two Parts
The present brief summary has been drawn.up conformably with the ideas here suggested. It contains an abstract of the Sacred History from the beginning to the end of time, with some short account of the. Several books of the two Testaments, and such extracts from the sacred text itself, as appear to display the perfections of God in the strongest light, and to excite our fear'and love of him in the most powerful manner. The passage: of scripture, which are most hard to be most liable to be wrested by the unlearned aud.uiista ble to their own destruction, are either omitted, or, ex plained according to the interpretation and traditionof the Church. The version adapted is that eminently, faith ful one made by the English'colleges of Rheims and Doway, as revised by the late venerable bishop Challoner.
