The Great Texts of the Bible
Edited by
Dr. James Ha^ngs
THE name of Dr. Hastings stands pre-eminent in the literature of Biblical exposition. In his famous Diction- ary of the Bible he attained a standard of homiletical inter- pretation and Scriptural scholarship never before realized, and in this new work, dealing with leading texts in the Old and New Testaments, he more than maintains that high standard, the result being
The Fulled and Mo^ Pradical Expository Work of the Time
This work is original in plan and in matter. It is complete in itself; not a work of brief suggestions and of references to other books.
Eight pages or more are devoted to the homiletical ex- position and illustration of a single text, and all that knowl- edge, scholarship, and the living experiences of our own time can do to throw light upon and enforce the practical application of the Great Texts is here present in illumi- nating power.

THE desire of the Editor of The Greater Men and Women of the Bible is to make the preaching of the present day accurate and attractive. It must attract the attention and win the heart of hearers, otherwise it makes little or no impression. One of the surest ways of securing attractiveness is a restrained use of illus- trations. Touch the imagination and the heart is almost won. The illustrations in this series of books are fresh, being for the most part taken from books that have been published quite recently. And they are carefully chosen so as to make the point clear and telling.
But present-day preaching must also be accurate. The Men and Women of the Bible are often chosen as subjects for popular lectures, and sometimes little attention is paid to the truth of the lecture if only it is popular. In these volumes the most authorita- tive books have been consulted and used, so that the statements contained in them may be relied upon with confidence. Criticism is kept subordinate to construction, as it should always be in the pulpit, but the work of the critic is not forgotten any more than that of the discoverer.
This work is original in plan and in matter. It is complete in itself; not a work of brief suggestions and of references to other books,
The set when completed will probably consist of about six volumes.
