Book Description
Excerpt from Biblical Epochs The evolution of the Holy Scriptures was the slow, progressive work of ages. Revelation was not perfected by one single publication of what God would have men believe and know, but it was made by gradual steps of progress, by unfolding of truth as men were prepared to receive it. Its basal design was to develop the divine plan of salvation for mankind. This great purpose runs through it all like a band of gold through the entire woof of a costly fabric. Its occult announcement was made at the genesis of the Biblical narration; it was reiterated in type and prophecy, in signs and wonders, in sacrifice and law and poetry, until, in the fullness of time, all came to completion in the person and work and atoning death of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Old Testament was a preparation for the New Testament. The Hebrew history was an introduction to the gospel of the Son of God.
