Excerpt from A Syllabus of Old Testament History: Outlines and Literature for Private Study and the Class Room We have reached a new era in Bible study. 'old plans and methods of work are giving place to the new. The old material of the Bible has become enriched by the wealth of antiquity. The nations of the Orient are rising from their slumbers. The voices of peoples, old when the first word of the Old Testament was penned, are heard in the East. Their testimony is essential to any correct estimate of those times.
