The Story of Our Bible
By Robinson, Emma A. (Emma Amelia), 1863-
INTRODUCTION
THE Bible is the most important book in the world, the most useful book in the world, and the miost interesting book in the world. Everything about it is interesting, the history of its production and its transmission to us not least of all.
Miss Robinson has told something of this history in this little book. May the boys and girls for whom it was written be led by it to see something of the marvelous providence by which the Bible was given to us and by which it has been preserved to our time. May they be led to revere the Book more highly for its ancient worth and its present value. May they read it and study it for themselves until they come to love it as Origen and Jerome and Martin Luther and Wycliffe and Tyndale did. May they find themselves becoming proficient and efficient and sufficient in spiritual things as they master the contents of this book and of The Book. In that way only will the writing of the book find its due reward.
