Book Description

Excerpt from Woman in the Bible: Being a Collection of All the Passages in the Scripscriptures Which Relate to Women, With Brief Notes Explanatory and Suggestive The design of this work is, (1.) To rescue from comparative neglect many passages of Scripture, especially in the Old Testament, which are either seldom read, or, if read, not fully understood or appreciated; (2.) To relieve the apparent indelicacy of certain passages by proper explanations; (3.) To direct attention to many other portions of Scripture not herein quoted, but copiously referred to, so as to make the Bible, as far as possible, its own interpreter; (4.) To render the sacred volume generally a much more interesting book to women than perhaps it now is; and, (5.) By some suggestive hints to promote the spiritual edification of women, and through them to benefit, also, those of the other sex who their influence can so powerfully reach. The condensed results of much study are here commended to the favorable attention of the reader, and to the blessing of God. It has not been thought necessary to quote at length all the passages which are made the subject of comment. It is presumed that every reader will have the Bible at hand, and can thus readily refer to the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
