Excerpt from The Master Library, Vol. 6: Everyday Life in Old Judea Here we can learn the personal relations Of these people with each other and with their children, the wide variety Of their occupations, the Shrewdness with which they Observed and interpreted those same human frailties and virtues that we know today, the deep reverence with which they drew near to God through their holy places, their sacrifices, and their feasts and fasts. SO real and living a book is the Bible that it is possible, through the careful and original groupings of this volume, to lift Off, as it were, the roof above the Bible folk, and look down upon them as they live in their homes, go about their business, and gather at their altars for the worship of their God.
