Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from First Lessons on the Bible: Written for His Sunday School in Worcester
These Lessons are intended to be used at whatever age it is thought best for children to begin the study of the Bible. They have been tried in my own Sunday School by scholars from ten to seventeen years old.
The plan must be left to explain, and, if possible, justify itself. I will only say that the general idea was to take up simply the salient points of the Old and New Testaments, without confusing the scholar's mind with such details as have no necessary bearing on the progress of events. The subject has been treated biographically; partly, because the young mind is more interested in persons than in abstract ideas, partly, because the whole Bible really grew out of individual thought and life.
