Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holy Land and Holy Writ There is no originality in this linking together of the Bible and Palestine on our title page. It has been gracefully done by both Thomson and Geikie. In fact it can hardly be avoided; for the book, to be understood, must be illustrated by the habits of the people among whom it was written, and to be beautiful, must be illustrated by the vistas of Palestine's moun tains, plains, and waters; and on the other hand, the land would be a most unprofitable one for the traveler in saddle or in spirit, without its life history and without the halo that Scripture hangs around it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Holy Land and the Bible, Vol. 1 of 2: A Book of Scripture Illustrations Gathered in Palestine I visited Palestine with the intention of gathering illustra tions of the sacred writings from its hills and valleys, its rivers and lakes, its plains and uplands, its plants and animals, its skies, its soil, and, above all, from the pictures of ancient times still presented on every side in the daily life of its people. Nothing is more instructive or can be more charming, when reading Scripture, than the illumination of its texts from such sources, throwing light upon its constantly recurring Oriental imagery and local allusions, and revealing the exact meaning of words and phrases which otherwise could not be adequately understood. Its simple narratives, its divine poetry, its pro phetic Visions, its varied teachings, alike catch additional vivid ness and force when read with the aid of such knowledge. The Land is, in fact, a natural commentary on the sacred writ ings which it has given to us, and we study them as it were amidst the life, the scenery, and the local peculiarities which surrounded those to whom the Scriptures were first addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Holy Land and the Bible, Vol. 1: A Book of Scripture Illustrations Gathered in Palestine I must urge it in explanation of my adding to the already copious literature treating, from one aspect or another, of the Holy Land, that the aim I have had in view in writing this book has been different from that of nearly every other work on Palestine, and that, if I have been able to carry it out successfully, the result should unquestionably prove very useful. I visited Palestine with the intention of gathering illustrations of the sacred writings from its hills and valleys, its rivers and lakes, its plains and uplands, its plants and animals, its skies, its soil, and, above all, from the pictures of ancient times still presented on every side in the daily life of its people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes in the Holy Land See him standing before that portico, with a crowd of children around Him! How kind He looks! How ten derly He presses that infant to His bosom! He is looking upward, and you can tell, from the kind and holy expres sion of His face, that He is praying for a blessing to rest on its little head. It is, probably, the first time He has ever seen these children, and yet He loves them, and blesses them. If you, too, had been there, my little friends, perhaps He would have loved you, and taken you in His arms and blessed you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Holy Land and the Bible, Vol. 2: A Book of Scripture Illustrations Gathered in Palestine The tradition of the Jews, current in our Lord's day, associated with this monument the Prophet Zechariah, who was stoned, by command Of King J oash, in the court Of the house Of the Lord; 1 and it may well be that Christ was looking down upon it from the Temple courts close above, on the Opposite side Of the valley, when He ad dressed the Pharisees, with whom He had been disputing in the bitter words: Woe untoyou, scribes and Phari sees, hypocrites! Because ye build the tombs of the pro phets, and. Garnish the sepulchres Of the righteous Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves that ye are the children Of them which killed the prophets. 2 I noticed square holes in the rock on the south side, probably the sockets in which the masons rested the beams Of the scaffold while they were cutting out the tomb. The so-called Tomb Of Absalom is the most stately Of the four monuments. It is forty-seven feet high, and nearly twenty feet square hewn. Like that Of Zechariah.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land and the Book, Vol. 1 of 2: Or Biblical Illustrations Drawn From the Manners and Customs, the Scenes and Scenery of the Holy Land Every sincere attempt to illustrate the Word of God is in itself commendable. On this fundamental fact the author rests his apology for obtruding the present work upon the notice of the public. Commentaries are daily multiplying; geographies and dictionaries, researches and travels almost innumerable, lend their aid to the student of the sacred page, and it is not proposed to add another to the long list. The author does not attempt a consecutive comment on any par ticular book of the Bible, but selects indiscriminately from all, such passages as contain the themes he desires to eluci date. The field is ample, and it is abundantly rich in sub jects for scenic and pictorial description. Whether he has succeeded in working out his own idea or not must be left for others to determine, but, if he has failed, it has not been through want of Opportunity to study the originals of which his pictures are to be Oopies. For a quarter of a century he has resided amid the scenes and the scenery to be described, and from midday to midnight, in winter and in summer, has gazed upon them with a joyous enthusiasm that never tired. The first impressions, corrected and improved by subsequent study and examination, are now reproduced for the eye of the public and the heart of the pious.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bible Lands: Their Modern Customs and Manners Illustrative of Scripture In every nation, however, usages are found which can not be explained or accounted for by a reference to the physical char acter of the country. These customs have an historical original, lost and forgotten, perhaps, in the lapse of time, but still main taining its sway over the minds and manners of those who have inherited them. The fact that the customs now prevalent in Bible lands are so different from those of the West, and yet es sentially identical with the ancient manners of the East, is of the greatest practical importance to the Biblical student. The Hebrew commonwealth has perished; its people are scattered among all the nations of the earth, whose manners they have adopted. The principal clue, therefore, to what they once were, and our chief means of explaining much that is obscure in Holy Writ, will be found in the customs of the modern East. And we prepose, in the second part of the present work, to consider all such details of Oriental life as appear to have, in the main, an historical origin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Picturesque Holy Land; Its People and History: With Scenes and Events in the Lives of Jesus and His Apostles; The History of the New Testament, and the Evidences of Christianity Nor was our apostle idle after the honor be'bed received of being called to attend the Saviour of the world; he immediately imparted the glad tidings of the Messiah's appearance to his brother Nathaniel, and conducted him to Jesus. After being called to the apostleship we have very little re cord of him by the Evangelists. It was, however, to him that our Saviour proposed the question, where they should find bread sufficient to satisfy the hunger of so great a multitude. Philip answered, that it was not easy to procure so great a quantity; not considering that it was equally easy for Almighty power to feed double the number, when it should be his divine will. It was also to the same apostle that the Gentile proselytes, who came up to worship at Jerusalem, applied, when they were de sirons to see the Saviour of the world. And it was with him our Lord had the discourse a little before the paschal supper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gleanings in Holy Fields The spiritual harvests of the Holy Land have been rich beyond comparison, and the labourers have been numerous beyond count. But what astonishes one most in that wonderful land is what remains in it over and above, that has not been gathered into the gamer. The gleanings of it are more abundant than the Whole harvests of other lands. Every reaper seems, like the young men of Boaz in the fields of Bethlehem, to let fall some of the handfuls on purpose for the benefit of his successor. I have been gleaning even among the sheaves, and I trust that for what I have stored up in this form I shall not be reproached.
