01.00. A Brief History Survey of the Old and New Testaments

A Brief Bible History Survey of the Old and New Testaments By J. Gresham Machen In this 38 chapter work, Machen (Presbyterian) does a brief and rapid survey of the Bible looking at major events throughout Scriptures.

Introduction This book surveys the history of God’s redeeming grace. It reviews Old Testament history, disclosing the stream of God’s redeeming purposes flowing down through the older times. It reviews New Testament history, disclosing the broadening and deepening of that purpose for us men and for mankind in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and his Church. The chapters included in this book appear also as a part of Teaching the Teacher, a First Book in Teacher Training, and are issued in this form to supply the demand for a brief Bible history, for popular reading.
