Lectures on the Bible to the Young (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In March 1848 John Eadie (1810-1876) sent forth this volume with the desire to instruct and excite young people concerning the value of the Bible. The response was so encouraging that four years later he issued a revised and enlarged edition, which is here offered to the public for the first time in more than a century. "Though written for the rising generation, these plain addresses are not meant for mere children. Simplicity has, indeed, been aimed at in their style and arrangement, in order to adapt them to a class of young readers whose minds have already enjoyed some previous training and discipline. They are designed to stimulate thought, as well as impart information. The object of their publication is not only to promote present improvement, but also to foster in the youthful spirit a hallowed taste for further study in the best of all the sciences." - From the Author's Preface
