By way of illustrating the manner in which the Scripture may be illumined by the findings of archeology, we would introduce a semi-humorous and partially tragic event that occurred in the dim and distant days of our own earlier studies. During a short term spent at a well known California college, we were specializing in the field of history. The teacher of this course, Professor Rosenberger, was one of the ablest pedagogues who ever wasted her life in the more or less important task of teaching a rising generation how to think! At the end of the first few weeks in a class in English history, she informed the student group that the following day we would be privileged to have a test in this particular subject. When the class gathered for the happy event, there were twenty questions written on the board which were to constitute our examination. The first question was something like this, “What new treaty had just been signed between France and Spain at this particular period?” The next question had to do with the political commitments of the Holy Roman Empire. The third question took us into the Germanic states, and in all of the twenty questions not one word concerning England was mentioned! As the class sat with the usual and habitual expression of vacuity which generally adorns the countenance of a college student facing a quiz, the Professor said, “You may begin.” Some hapless wight procured the courage to protest, by saying, “But you said this was to be an examination in English history!” The Professor replied, “Quite so! This _is_ English history!” Then leaning forward over the desk she said, in impressive tones, “How can you expect to know what England is doing, and why, if you do not know the pressure upon her of her enemies and friends at that particular period?” A long distance back in our mental vacuum a dim light began to glow, and we never were caught that way again! When the teacher said French history, we read everything else! When she said German history, we specialized on the surrounding countries. One day as we were thinking over this helpful technique of understanding, the idea began to grow that if this was the proper way to study secular history, _it ought to apply to Bible study as well_!
