COMMENTS OF THE PRESS
Comments of the press on the first edition of Synthetic Bible
Studies: -
The Homiletic Review says the method of Bible study it
exemplifies is "the best that has been presented to the public."
The Pittsburgh Christian Advocate: "We
know of no other way in which one can so easily and satisfactorily
get a comprehensive view of the Bible as in this way."
The Quarterly Review (United Brethren):
"We know of nothing better of its kind for the use of higher classes
in the Sunday School, and for Theological Seminary's Bible study in
English, and for the minister's private study."
The Record of Christian Work: "It is many
years since a Bible study help has been given to the world of which
so many commendatory things may be said."
The Baltimore Methodist: "This is an age
of Bible study, and the many 'helps' published to make this study
interesting and profitable are numerous. We venture to affirm,
however, that none equal the present method, both for practical and
exegetical work. Dr. Gray has given us a book which every student,
teacher and preacher of the Bible ought to possess. Such books
cannot be measured by money value, but only by the impetus given to
Bible study and the solid character built up thereby."
Watchword and Truth: "Anyone wishing help
in scripture study can do no better than purchase this book. It is
admirable, evangelical, accurate and helpful. No wonder the first
edition is completely exhausted before the newspapers of the land
have had a chance to review the book. We predict for it an enormous
sale of many thousands."
Herald and Presbyter: "This is a very
attractive book. Anyone who wishes to study the Bible systematically
will find it invaluable. It would be an excellent guide for a series
of Sabbath evening lectures. It gives a bird's-eye view of the whole
Bible, and enables one to see it to be a beautiful whole. It should
certainly be a very welcome book to every minister and Bible
student."
Christian Endeavor World: "A study of the
Bible by books so as to gain a definite, comprehensive knowledge of
the special contents of each is something that many are seeking. Dr.
James M. Gray has been doing much for the past few years in
promoting systematic reading and study of the Bible, and has aroused
great interest in the matter. His course, 'Synthetic Bible
Studies,' will receive and deserve a hearty welcome as it now
appears in a book form."
