Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from New Testament Studies: The Principal Events in the Life of Our Lord
In presenting to the public a manual of New Testament Studies, the author offers to Catholic teachers and parents the results of special work, in a city parish, among the older children who met with him regularly to study the life of our divine Saviour, as told in the Holy Gospels. It was a labor of love, and the results more than repaid the efforts. It was prompted by the encyclical on the study of the Holy Scriptures, in which our Holy Father Leo XIII. encourages clergy and people to a greater love for the word of God, wherein they are to find tho image of Christ, which, as he says, "stands out living and breathing, diffusing everywhere around, consolation in trouble, encouragement to virtue, and attraction to tho love of God." Responding to such an appeal, and ambitious that our Catholic children should be taught how to study the Gospels, and thus see in the written word of God the beauty of the life of Him who came as a Child to Bethlehem that He might become a Saviour at Calvary, the author was led to establish some method by which, in simple ways, the child might be familiarized with the New Testament, and thus acquire a love for it and make it a food for daily spiritual life.
The higher study of the New Testament has abundant methods at hand in admirable text-books; but the simpler work for young minds has as yet little means for advancement. The system of instruction followed in this manual is catechetical, consisting of memory texts, moral thoughts, questions and answers.
