Description
The Children’s Bible with Selections from the Old and New Testaments, translated and arranged by Henry a. Sherman, Head of the Department of Religious Literature of Charles Scribner’s Sons and Charles Foster Kent Woolsey Professor of Biblical Literature in Yale University. The Children’s Bible offers in plain English, an interpretation of collections from both the Old and the New Testament. These collections have been created as an outcome of over 25 years of commentary and research. The ardent book is that of the Holy Bible itself, but in the dialect of the little ones, so that it might clearly and simply be read to the smaller kids and by those who are grownups. It is not in terms of only one syllable, for while the little child is scanning through the Holy Bible he must be able to eventually know and discern the real definition of new phrases and figures of speech. The Childrens Bible includes sections on the bases on which the sacred and pious life of the small child must be founded. The perpetual and illustrious tales and hymns of the Old and New Testaments are his most profound heritage from the ancient times. To bestow him this bequest in tongue and manner that he can learn and delight is the responsibility and opportunity of his parents and tutors. It is wished for that The Children’s Bible will chance the necessity and the request, which parents and teachers equally have entirely felt and always spoken, for a general translation of collections from the Holy Bible greatly suitable to the wants and the welfares of the younger ones. It is also assumed that after the younger child knows how to be grateful and adore these tales and melodies, he will be keen and wanting to read The Childrens Bible as an entirety with true fascination and cleverness.
