From a book review by Journal of the American Academy of Religion , Volume V, Issue III, July 1937:
“This book attempts the impossible with fair success. In Part I, the beginner in Bible Study will benefit from a short survey of the Bible as a whole, and from an excellent brief summary about each of the books of the Bible under these heading: place, time, historical background, purpose, authorship, structure. Some tables present the books notonly in the traditional Protestant and Hebrew orders, but also in an approximate chronological order, together with a history of the transmission of the text. A consensus of competent scholarship is well-presentded on disputed points.”
“Part II…many interesting facts are given in clear topical fashion in which the layman will find much varied information. This section appeared originally in The Christian Science Monitor, but there is remarkably little doctrinal influence….Two large maps on the end sheets, and eight good photographs of famous texts and version add to the reader’s interest.”
