Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroines of the Bible in Art In order to accomplish these vast artistic labours, artists of genius had a following of men of lesser powers who be came their imitators - occasionally their superiors - and formed their so-called schools; thus great numbers were em ployed, from the colour-grinders - some of whom became famous painters - to the favourite followers who, like Giulio Romano and Francesco Penni, were per mitted to execute important works from the cartoons of their masters.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women of the Bible IN this book, the author has sought to contemplate Woman precisely as the inspired pen has represented her, so far as she has arisen to view in the divine history of God's providential and gracious dispensa tions to mankind, and so far as that pen may have sketched more didactically her true position and duties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of Women of the Bible: Old Testament Series The following character-sketches were given in the ordinary course of my pulpit ministrations. The members of the congregation were interested in them during their delivery, and the suggestion was made that they might be put into a more permanent form hence this volume. The title of the book sufficiently describes its aim; the lectures are pen-portraits, and the endeavour has been to faithfully reproduce the living features of the original. I have ventured, however, in one or two of the sketches - as e.g. In the case of Rizpah - to fill up that which was lacking in the Scripture narrative in order to give a measure of completeness to the portrait. In others a few simple lessons are suggested; but for the most part the character-sketch is allowed to speak for itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical and Descriptive Sketches of the Women of the Bible, From Eve of the Old to the Marys of the New Testament It was not the design of adding essentially to Biblical Literature, neither the cacoethes scribendi, that induced the Author to increase the number of similar works which have appeared. It was the suggestion of another, enforced by the consideration, that while there are elegant Gift Books of Female Scripture Biography, there is no volume of the kind for more general reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Women of the Bible: Delineated in a Series of Sketches of Prominent Females Mentioned in Holy Scripture; By Clergymen of the United States Who that has ever read the story of Hagar, has not felt himself enchained by its almost matchless attractions? The incidents of which it is composed, - can any thing be more touching and beautiful, more illustrative Of the simplicity of the patriarchal age, or of the strangely diversified Operations Of human nature, or of the movements Of a Wise and wonder-working Providence? And the materials are moulded with admirable skill and effect. Throughout the whole narrative, it is nature herself speaking with inimitable grace and tenderness. And herein consists the charm of Scripture narratives generally: there is an unstudied ease about them, which no words can describe and no art can counterfeit. Among the manifold evidences that the Bible is the product of divine inspiration, this is not to be overlooked - that the pictures Of characters and scenes which it pre sents far transcend the highest human Skill; so that we are forced to the conclusion that they must have been sketched by a divine hand, and with colors which Heaven alone can supply.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Girls of the Bible Hebrew women from the first played a prominent part in the history of their race. Among them were poets, prophets, leaders and saviours of their people. Miriam was second only to Moses and Aaron in the councils of the Israelites; Deborah held the highest political office among the tribes - that of Judge, since there was no king in her day. Moreover, Deborah was'a prophetess regarded with especial favor by the Lord. It was Hannah who dedicated Samuel to God, a deed which made her prominent among the mothers of Israel; and Ruth and Esther have given their names to books of the Bible. Women were chosen by Christ to be His friends and were instructed in religion as carefully as were the men. The venerable Anna hailed the infant Jesus as the Messiah, and an archangel announced the birth of the Holy Child to Mary, the most blessed of women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroines of History: Typical Heroines of Mythology, of Shakespeare, of the Bible The heroic element in woman's character receives more or less emphasis in all forms of literature and in every period of history. Wherever found it is one and the same vir tue. But it may be associated with very dissimilar mental qualities and very unlike ethical notions in different individuals, races, and ages. The historic heroine may differ widely in her moral and mental entirety from any heroine of poetry or romance - any crea tion of the imagination. The heroine of the Bible may not as a type correspond in the unity of her womanhood to the Greek heroine of mythology. But when we find the strong, splendid virtue of heroism in historical or fictitious, in real or ideal, in scriptural or mythological character, it is ever one and the same thing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greater Men and Women of the Bible: Adam Joseph The desire of the Editor Of The Greater Men and Women of the Bible is to make the preaching of the present day accurate and attractive. It must attract the attention and win the heart of hearers, otherwise it makes little or no impression. One of the surest ways of securing attractiveness is a restrained use of illus trations. Touch the imagination and the heart is almost won. The illustrations in this series of books are fresh, being for the most part taken from books that have been published quite recently. And they are carefully chosen so as to make the point clear and telling. But present-day preaching must also be accurate. The Men and Women of the Bible are often chosen as subjects for popular lectures, and sometimes little attention is paid to the truth of the lecture if only it is popular. In these volumes the most author itative books have been consulted and used, so that the statements contained in them may be relied upon With confidence. Criticism is kept subordinate to construction, as it should always be in the pulpit, but the work of the critic is not forgotten any more than that of the discoverer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ruth, a Bible Heroine and Other Stories: Told in the Language of Childhood While Is-ra-el was ruled by a judge whose name has not come down to us, a dearth came on the land of Ca-naan. And one of the Jews who dwelt in Bcth-le-hem, took his wife and his two sons and went to stay for a while in the land of Mo-ab. His wife's name was Na-o-mi. The man died while they were in Mo-ab, and in a few years each of the sons took him a wife. And their names were Or-pah and Ruth. At the end of ten years the sons died, and Na-o-mi and their wives dwelt in the land of Mo-ab. When Na-o-mi heard there was no lack of food in Is-ra-el, she made up her mind to go back to Beth-le-hem to live. She told Or-pah and Ruth of her plan, and said if they choose to stay in the land of Mo-ab, where they were born, they might do so. And they kissed her and wept and said they would go with her.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greater Men and Women of the Bible: Mary Simon God bloweth where it listeth, and to her we owe one of the most majestic hymns of the Church Catholic. It mattered nothing that she was not learned after the fashion of the scribes; she had seen the angel who stands in the presence of God; it was less than nothing that she lived in a house of two rooms, since it opened into Eternity. For her Divine motherhood Mary was prepared twice - once because she had so little of the world which is seen, once because she had so much of the world which is not seen.
