It deals with the evolution of " The Book" from its earliest beginnings to the point of development where we now find it. In that vast field where first~hand investigation of original sources has not been possible, the author has chosen from eminent scholars those conclusions which appear logical and authoritative. As scholars disagree, many questions about the source, authorship, period, and circumstances of the various writings are still unsettled. These controversies are not entered into, but where a decision is necessary, that conclusion is accepted which appears most authoritative and to represent the preponderance of well~considered opinion. There is no doctrinal discussion of the teachings of the Bible, no effort to promote any specific interpretation of its passages. It is the purpose of the author to deal with its history rather than with its message, in the hope and expectation that through a better understanding of the background and evolution of the Bible, its message may take on for the reader a deeper, a more spiritual significance. These chapters, with a few exceptions, appeared serially in The Christian Science Monitor, and are published with the permission of the Trustees of The Christian Science Publishing Society. The author's thanks are due Mr. Thomas L. Leishman, A.M., for his careful review of the manuscript. ~Boston, December 1, 1935" .…
