“THE HUMANISM OF
THE BIBLE” SERIES.
Edited by
Professor JOHN E. MCFADYEN, B.A. (Oxon), D.D.
(United Free Church College, Glasgow),
and
D. RUSSELL SCOTT, M.A.
(Late Pusey and Ellerton Hebrew Scholar in the University
of Oxford.)
Large Crown 8vo, Cloth Gilt.
Price =3s. 6d.= net per Volume.
The aim of the Series is to set forth the human experience that
underlies, and is reflected in, the Bible. The doctrinal and theological
treatment of the Bible has undoubtedly tended to obscure its
transcendent human interest. This Series is an attempt to recover some
of those ancient experiences and personalities which come to expression
in the Bible, and to show how fascinating and relevant they are to the
life of to-day. It seeks in a broad way to interpret the spirit of the
Biblical books with which it deals, and to indicate their permanent
human interest and worth.
“If the series may be judged by its first volume it promises to fulfil
admirably its purpose of making the Bible a more human book.”--_Glasgow
Herald._
