Bible Manual. Introductory course on the Bible, for teachers training classes and Bible classes.

PREFACE.

No other work in the church is greater than the religious instruc- tion of the children. Since our modern system of education has ban- ished the Bible from our public schools, the education of children in the Word of God is entrusted chiefly to the Sunday schools. Only a limited number of children have any religious training other than that offered by the church school. The realization of this, fact has awakened the church to the urgent need of trained teachers, resulting in the formation of Teacher-Training classes. A number of courses have been prepared for such classes, the most recent being "The New Standard Teacher Training Course," a normal course dealing with the "How" of teaching, rather than merely the contents of it.

In this "Bible Manual" an introductory course on the Bible is offered, which it is hoped will be welcomed by those who desire a more complete course on the Bible than the former First Standard course, for whom however the New Standard course seems too difficult. This Manual may also be used to advantage in catechetical classes and Adult Bible classes.
