Excerpt from The Modern Reader's Bible for Schools Wb IT is hoped that the title of this work will not be misconstrued to suggest a mere class room manual. The expression Schools covers a great variety of people, from university and other mature students to quite young people. It is for the particular teacher, or director of study, to discriminate the kind of instruction needed in each case. But it is desirable that there should be some presenta tion of Scripture in literary form which may be used by all types of students. To furnish this has been the purpose of this and the companion New Testament volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
