The Bible, "The Book of the Lord;" or, The Divine Authority of the Sacred Scriptures. Addressed especially to the Young. Revised by D. P. Kidder. [Children’s Library. Series B, 98]

Notes

Chap. 4 addresses the divine inspiration of the Bible as well as "the destruction of the Jerusalem and the dispersion of the Jews." "History tells us how wonderfully all this has come to pass. The strong and magnificent temple has been razed to the ground; Jerusalem has been laid in heaps, and the Jews have been scattered all over the world. They are now found in every civilized country, and though dispersed among all people, they are preserved distinct from all, and are living proof of the inspiration of the Bible. Every Jew we meet proclaims to us the truth of God’s word" (pp. 44-45; illus. of a turbaned Jewish scholar on p. 44).
