he Bible must be studied and taught to save the world.

Much depends upon the system adopted, as to the amount of work that may be done in a certain length of time.

This book has been written to meet the growing interest in Bible Study. Each year more inquiries are made as to the best system for studying and teaching the Bible. It is the purpose of the author to prepare books in which the entire system of Bible Study may be presented in a clear and practical way, so that there will be harmony in all the texts to be followed in the Bible Courses. In the Bible Correspondence Course there will be four books to study, as follows: (1) The Bible Outline; (2) Bible Geography; (3) Old Testament History; (4) New Testament History. The advanced courses in Bible Study will be arranged in harmony with this first series. It is now more than six years since we first thought of arranging and writing out this system, but the task we felt was too great to undertake at that time; and even now, after fifteen years of study and teaching, we hesitate to undertake so responsible and important a work.

In teaching and studying, different authors have been followed to whom we are indebted for assistance and instruction. Many works have been read and consulted in the preparation of this book that it might be so arranged and written that it would be adapted to all who wish to begin Bible Study in THE BIBLE SCHOOLS, Ten Day Bible Institutes or by Correspondence.

While this is a general outline of the Bible and the first book of the series, it is the hope of the author to awaken through the teachings of these books a greater interest in those that have a desire not only to be Bible students, but also teachers of this living Book.

If through this system of study there can be created a hungering and thirsting after righteousness, the author shall feel amply rewarded for his labor.
