From the preface:
This book consists of one hundred thirty-two lessons concerning God's dealings with the human race beginning with the creation and closing with Luke's account of Paul in prison at Rome in the last chapter of The Acts. Standard works of the best scholars have been used to determine the chronology of events in an effort to present the lessons in chronological order. The books of Kings and Chronicles have been treated as one historical record, giving double references where both related the same events. And where the prophets made historical statements in their writings these references have been included according to the best chronology available.
The four gospel records have been treated as one biography of Christ, giving references where each writer mentioned the subject under consideration. The author has not tried to determine the chronology of events for himself in these books but has used that given by MeGarvey and Pendleton in their 'Fourfold Gospel." Students will do well to use that book in their studies of these lessons on the Life of Christ.
This work has been very well receiveci by the public. Churches all over the nation are using them for various classes, in Sunday Bible school, in mid-week services, and for ladies' Bible elases. The author is very grateful for this fine reception and is pleased to know that the work is capable of being used for good. It is his sincere prayer that these lessons will continue to do good wherever used.
