HOW THE BIBLE GREW By FRANK G LEWIS

Crozer Theological Seminary

qJ This is the first single work to record the growth of the Bible from its beginning up to the present time. There are introductions to the Old Testament, introductions to the New Testament, and histories of the versions; but this is the only volume which brings into readable form the essentials of the entire literary development through which the Bible has passed.

qJ The work is unusual also in the extent to which it takes the reader

directly back to the Bible itself as the source of its literary history. Recognizing that the New Testament is the place in which to discover the first form of the Old Testament, the book begins at that point. It then follows back the traces of literary history in the Apocrypha and in the Old Testament. After pursuing this method till the earliest Israelitish writings are found, the author combines the results obtained and puts into a constructive statement the facts of Old Testament

literary growth. On this as a basis the development of the New Tes- tament is briefly sketched in a similar fashion. Then follows a de-

scription of the ways in which both Testaments have been handled by translators in producing the many versions which have appeared through the centuries.

(i For the convenience of the reader the Bible statements and others which explain the Bible growth are freely quoted, thus making the work not only a summary of Bible development but a convenient and readable handbook of reference to the data on which the narrative rests. A full index still further facilitates the use of the book.
