Excerpt from The Analyzed Bible, Vol. 1: Genesis to Esther So much concerning the writer and his methods. Now a word with my readers as to purpose and method. As to the first, I am profoundly convinced that one of the gravest perils of this hour of increased interest is that of a merely carnal desire for the technical knowledge of the con tent of Scripture. Unless those who devote themselves to the study of the Word zealously and ceaselessly watch and pray, the very de light of discovering the system will become a paramount motive, and wherever this is so, it results in disastrous failure, and an actual peril to Spiritual life. In these volumes I need hardly say the Bible is to be treated as Divine. It is a volume of the Oracles of God.
