Introduction

°HIS attractive and beautiful book, with its clear and simple yet graphic style, and its abundant illustrations, is an attempt to set the sacred truths of the Bible before the intelligent and thoughtful reader, in such a manner as to charm the eye, instruct the mind, and move the heart.

The writer of this Commentary has not attempted to improve upon the Divine record, or to explain those things which are easily and readily understood as they stand upon the sacred page. But wherever there is any serious difficulty, in comprehending that which the Holy Spirit has communicated to men in the word of God, on the part of the reader, he has endeavored, in the plainest and simplest terms, to shed new light upon the blessed word. Believing, as he evidently does with his whole heart, that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh, and that the design of all the revealed word of God is to exhibit the plan of redemption wrought out by him, and to show how, throughout the ages, his coming was heralded, even from Eden, till in the fulness of time he came to be our Redeemer, he makes this purpose of God the key-note of the Commentary ; and whatever will aid in its demonstration, whether it be description, history, geography, argument, or simple narrative, ic employed freely. In short, the aim and object of the writer is to justify the ways of God to man, and to show how full of mercy and goodness they are. Yet it is as far as possible from his purpose to put anything in the place of the Bible, or to write anything more interesting than the simple and sublime story of patriarchs and prophets, apostles and martyrs. He does not presume to improve upon the precepts and instructions that came fresh and living from the lips of the Son of God. He would only gather his readers around him and show them where and how to look, while the awful and glorious vision of Divine revelation is unrolled before them. He does not hold up a taper to give them an illustration of the sun, but he takes them by the hand and leads them out into the broad day, when the sun himself is filling the earth and the heavens with his glorious light.

This Commentary does not assume that the Bible is a blind book, and must needs be explained, or it will not be understood by those who read it. Nor does it imply that it is a dull book, and must be made interesting by all the artifices of the novelist or word-painter, or it will never be read. Nor does it give its readers the impression that the Bible is an antiquated and obsolete work which must be mod-

ernized and improved, or it will have to give place to the fresher and more impressive thought of our own time. On the contrary, it is the object of the author of this Commentary to show his readers that the Bible is the book for all times, all places, and all circumstances ; that it is the most original, fresh, plain, and interesting book that ever has been or ever will be written; and that its saints, its heroes, and its martyrs are representative men for the whole human race.

_ The lesson of the sacred story is sometimes rehearsed anew, and in modern phrase, not to give a clearer version of what was written in olden times, but to secure a change of position, and show the inspired picture-in a different light, that the reader may see it better and love it more. The best comment is that which — brings the reader’s mind into closest contact with the word as written. That word is ever 80 pure, simple, and expressive, that it needs only to find entrance to the heart, and it will enlighten the eyes and convert the soul.

Many books have been written, and much learning expended, in the effort to show that only those who were thoroughly versed in the languages in which the Bible was originally written, and in the history, social customs, and manners, and the literature of the nations among which it had its birth, could rightly understand it; but such an idea is utterly unworthy of the Christian, and savors of the bigotry and exclusiveness of the dark ages. The greater part of the Scriptures, all that is necessary to show us the way of salvation, is within the comprehension of the simplest and humblest, and will educate and elevate their minds as nothing else can. There are some passages which can be more clearly understood, and will receive added force, by a knowledge of the circumstances under which they were spoken or written, and the habits and customs of the people to whom they were first uttered ; and in very rare instances, it is possible that our English translation fails to convey the full force of the original expression. But even these exceptional cases are provided for in this Commentary, which, while carefully avoiding all display of learning, gives in simple and clear language the results of the profound and extensive research of the past two centuries, on all points, where there is a necessity for them.

It is due to the author and revisers of this work also, that we should speak of some of the new features which have been added to the present edition. The introduction to the Old Testament is conceived in perfect harmony with the original idea of the work, and shows with great force and clearness that the Old Testament Scriptures were intended as God’s revelation of his purpose of mercy in bestowing, in the fulness of time, his greatest and best of gifts to fallen man.

The first chapters of Genesis have been rewritten with the same purpose in view, and give a theory of the preparation of the earth to be the habitation of man, which, while explaining the creative day satisfactorily, removes the whole subject from the realm of the geologist, and disposes at once and forever of all the cavils of the scientist. The weakness and folly of the Darwinian theory of the origin of man is shown by a few masterly touches; and the deep guilt involved in the first transgression effectively demonstrated. Throughout the Old Testament there are passages which show great care in treating the really difficult topics. At the close of the Old Testament, a brief but very interesting history of the Jews, from the captivity to the destruction of Jerusalem, a period only alluded to in the Scriptures, is given, which throws much light on many passages of the New Testament.

INTRODUCTION. i]

This is followed by a descriptive history and geography of the Holy Land, so comprehensive, complete, and interesting, that it deserves to .be published as a separate treatise. An introduction to the New Testament carries out and illustrates the idea that the Scriptures are indeed Testaments—the revelation of God’s will or purposes of mercy to man, and that the expansion of those purposes, to include the arhole human family, as wel] as the chosen nation, is firat fully set forth in the XNew Testament. The questions of the authenticity and inspiration of each of the books of the New Testament; and of their exclusive right to a place in the canon of Scripture, are handled with great simplicity and clearness. In the books of the New Testament, the hand of the careful reviser is clearly seen, and a history of Asia Minor in the time of the apostles, and an admirable biography of St. John the Divine, have been added to the work. The publishers have also appended, very wisely, that charming life of our Saviour, by Hesba Stretton, known as “ The Wonderful Life.”

The engravings and illustrations scattered so abundantly through this book greatly increase its value. To young and old they teach more vividly and impreasively than words. No verbal description, however accurate and minute, can be worth anything like as much to the reader as the plainest picture of the thing described. One glance at the rudest outline of Jerusalem will fix its form and situation more deeply in the memory than a whole volume of verbal description.

It would be too much to expect that every one of the four hundred and fifty illustrations found in this book should be drawn and engraved in the highest style of art, or that none should fail to give a true impression of the places and the people, the customs and modes of living in the Bible lands. And yet in all this large number very few will fail to carry back the reader to the times of old, and to make him better acquainted with the men who lived when angels came and sat in the shade of oaks at the shepherd’s tent-door, and the word of the Lord was given by miracle and vision and prophecy.

The original works of the Italian, and Flemish, and Spanish schools of art are very wonderful in coloring and in composition, but they are seldom true to the Bible story ; they give very imperfect views of people and customs in the Bible times. The Bible student will find more in the pictures which form a part of this Commentary, to help him understand the Scriptures, than he would in all the works of Raphael and Rubens, of Michael Angelo and Murillo.

These illustrations take the reader out into the pasture-grounds of the patriarchs and show him the sheep and the goats, the flock and the fold, the well and the fountain, just as Isaac and Jacob saw them at Beersheba and Bethel and Shechem. He wanders with the great household over hill and plain in the glow of the morning, and rests in the hot noon under the shadow of the shepherd’s tent. He goes down into Egypt, sees the brick-making and the brute-worship in the house of bondage, and then joins the great emigration under Moses. He beholds the tents of the tribes and the tabernacle of the congregation in the long wandering of the wilderness. He comes with the conquering host into the land of promise, and surveys its mountains, and hills, and valleys, its cities and high places and strongholds. As he goes on with the sacred history, his eye becomes familiar with all the occupations and all the aspects of human life in the Holy Land. He sees the sower scattering seed and the birds of the air following to

devour it up. He sees the gleaners following the reapers and the harvesters bind. ing the sheaves, purging the threshing-floor and storing the wheat in the garner. He goes out with the husbandman in the morning to see the laborers in the field, and he sits by the village fou”tain when the women come at evening to bring water. He visits the vineyard when the vintagers are treading out the grapes ; he walks by the seaside, when the fishermen are casting their nets ; he looks up to the hills at sunrise, and sees the shepherd seeking pasturage and the flock following his steps whithersoever he goeth. He sits in the city gate and sees the conqueror coming home from distant war, and captive kings chained and following in his train. He stands as a spectator in the banqueting-hall when meats steam, and flowers blossom, and wine runs redder than blood, and he walks around outside the city wall, where mourners rend their garments and sit in sackcloth and ashes. All these things, and a thousand others, are set before the eye of the reader in pictorial illustration, and so he receives a far more definite and lasting impression of Bible times, lands, and people, than could ever be given by verbal description alone. The sacred record becomes to him a living book, and its spiritual truths are so bound up in earthly and material forms that he can grasp their meaning and carry it with him through all the journey of life. The great lessons of courage am Constancy, and faith, and love, are set before him in such a companionable and every-day dress, that he is insensibly drawn into sympathy with saints, and heroes, and apostles, and martyrs. He makes them the companions of his best hours, and he learns to imitate the best things in their lives. The holy men of old walk with the men of the living age, and the blessing of the fathers descends to the children from generation to generation. ~ The style and the whole execution of the work are well fitted to secure so great and good a result. The entrance of the book into the house and the careful study ef its sacred lessons will begin a new era of light and instruction for the household.

To THE READER.

“252 HE Pictorial Bible Commentator for the Young, of the late Ingram Cobbin, has been a work of great success and popularity ; but the time having arrived, when there was a necessity for some changes, which should better adapt it to the use of families, we have procured its revision by able Christian writers, of the highest repute, who have sought to explain, in accordance with the latest and best results of Biblical criticism, those portions of the word of God, against which infidels and scoffers have made their most violent assaults; and to show that the Book of Revelation and the Book of Nature are in harmony with each other. We have also caused. the prophetical books to be treated at greater length ; have given an account. of the books known as the Apocrypha ; have added a History of the Jews, from the captivity to the destruction of Jerusalem; and a Geography and. History of the Holy Land, with a map of the same, from the pens of eminent scholars, and which will be of great interest, from their connecting: each city, town, mountain and valley, with some event in the Bible history. of the country.

We have had an Introduction to the New Testament prepared, which. shows why all its books are regarded as inspired, and also as the only boeke. entitled to a place there, and gives the design and purpose of the New Testament. The Commentary on the Gospels and Acts has been carefully: revised, and additions made where needed; a History and Map of Asia. Minor, including the labors of the Apostles Paul, Peter and John, and an elaborate and interesting Life of St. John, by the well-known biographical. writer, Dr. L. P. Brockett, have been added; while the condensed but. excellent Life of Christ, entitled “The Wonderful Life,” by Hesba Stretton, . completes the work. In all we have added about three hundred pages, and many new illustrations to the work. We think we may safely commend it to all Christian people, as, by far, the most complete and comprehensive commentary on the entire Scriptures in one volume ever published, and the testimony of many eminent clergymen and laymen, mmo! have carefully examined it, confirms us in this opinion.
