Excerpt from The Bible in Modern Light: A Course of Lectures Before the Bible Department of the Woman's Club, Omaha
The Bible Department, in the Omaha Woman's Club, was a new departure last year. It attracted the attention of many other clubs and letters of inquiry were te ceived from many quarters. Appendix A gives a good idea of the plan of work, while Appendix B shows the spirit which has pre vailed. One of the first questions to be settled at the beginning of the work, was whether to take up the study of the Bible direct, or to begin with a course about the Bible. The latter was decided upon, and the lectures which follow are the result. They are here given in the form in which they were originally presented. One im portant feature, however, is lacking, that is the discussion and the questions which followed the lecture.
