Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cornell's Key to Bible Study, or the Bible Taught as a Science: With a Series of Introductory Bible Lessons, Designed for Sunday Schools, Normal Classes and Institutes; Accompanied by an Illustrated Biblical Index, 24 by 84 Inches, Neatly Bound and Mounted on Roller
The series of graded lessons presented in this work is intended to supply the felt want of qualifying Sunday school teachers for their work. The advantages of this system over the old are: First. In the old there is little opportunity for thought; the mind is constantly required to grasp something before it, like reaching after something in the dark. But in these lessons the thoughts are required to go back and digest the lesson (as will' be seen in the Suggestions to Teachers); for the complete understanding of these lessons comes only to the mind as thought is brought to bear upon them. For instance, suppose the Bible student reads a chapter requiring fifteen minutes of time; which is the most profitable to that student, to give that chapter just read another fifteen minutes of careful thought, or to push forward in continuous reading? The answer is obvious. Second. The student is made acquainted with many things which are absolutely necessary to an understanding of the Bible, which no system ever before adopted, viz: the definition and abbreviation of words used; correct pronunciation of words; the chronology of the Bible; the time, place and circumstance which called forth each book; also a brief historical account of the several writers. The history of the Bible is brought out; its original construction, its age, how preserved unchanged, its translation into the languages of the earth, its division into chapter and verse, etc., etc. And again, its being taught as any and every other science, introducing it to the pupils in the most simple and easy manner, acquainting them with such matter which leads them, step by Step, from the most simple into the more advanced stage of Biblical knowledge.
