Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Old Testament in the Sunday-School
The primary purpose of this essay is to examine the adaptability Of the Old Testament as material for the Sunday-school curriculum according to the principles (1) of education, (2) Of biblical criticism, and (3) of the Christian conception Of life and of society. Notwithstanding the vast amount Of work that has been done recently in preparing new Sunday-school curricula, such an examination has never been made, nor have these three principles been brought together before for this purpose. These principles Of education and Of religion are stated brie?y in the present chapter.
To set forth the position of biblical scholarship as it applies to the use of the Old Testament in the Sunday school, together with the educational prob lems involved, two sections are added, one on Israel's Religion and the other on Israel's Literature.
The graded curricula discussed in the last section are representative, not exhaustive. The discussion is an examination, in the light Of the three principles enunciated above, of the Old Testament material used in these curricula.
