from preface: The lives of holy men, who have walked with God in any age of the world, furnish us with pleasing exhibitions of the power of living truth ; but, the characters of Sacred Writ stand out incomparably superior to all others, inasmuch as they are not measured by the imperfect standard of human judgment, but truthfully, faithfully represented by the impartiality of heaven-selected, heaven- directed biographers. Their hidden springs of thought, and motives of action, are fully displayed, and their example held forth for encouragement and warning, as the case demands. It is a fact which should serve to hallow their memories, and invest their history with peculiar interest, not exclusively to the Christian reader, but to all those whose part in the common lot of humanity ally them to kindred hopes and feelings, similar temptations and trials with them.Title:Moses and the Prophets; Christ and the Apostles;Fathers and MartyrsAuthor:J E StebbinsPublished:Conn, Hurlbut, Kellog, & Co,1861Binding: beautiful stamped design hardcover with gilt and marbled page edgesSize: apx. 9.25\" by 6.25\" with 608 pages
