' ' r FHE NEW ILLUSTRATED BIBLE " is intended to supply another want very generally felt. 



-L Many persons are anxious in the present day to know how much reliable light has been thrown 

 by Modern Criticism upon the origin and character of the various Books of the Old and New Testaments. 

 What they desire is to have some brief statement as to the positions which have now been reached on 

 such questions by scholars distinguished by sobriety of judgment as well as by the extent of their 

 learning. " THE NEW ILLUSTRATED BIBLE," therefore, contains Introductions to the 

 Books and groups of Books in the Bible, written by students of the first rank, which convey in a 

 succinct and popular form such an exhibition of the matters under consideration as will enable any Bible 

 reader to gain a clear conception of the general merits of each question and to form an honest and trust- 

 worthy conclusion.
