LECTURES INTRODUCTORY TO THE STUDY Old Testament THE PENTATEUCH BY WILLIAM KELLY / Reprint 1970 / Publisher: BELIEVERS BOOKSHELF / Printed in Germany
Old Testament - The Pentateuch William Kelly Some Bible scholars esteem Mr. Kelly's "Introductory Lecture Series" to be the simplest and most helpful of all his books. Perhaps it's because of his expressed intention to trace in each inspired book the perfect design of the Spirit of God; and to explore how this design varies from book to book and yet results in a unified and magnificent revelation of God's mind and will. A unique feature of this series - a single sentence summary of every page of the book in the table of contents.
THE Lectures which follow were delivered in London, during the month of May, 1870, and corrected from notes taken in shorthand, with additions. It may be painful to some that so much notice is taken of sceptical assaults on the Pentateuch. My object, however, is not only to promote the direct edification of the Christians who are quite unaffected by such puny efforts of unbelief, but to furnish helpful hints to those who feel either need of a candid answer to captious objections, or a wish to aid the feeble entangled by such snares of the enemy. These remarks, chiefly in the form of footnotes, unless I err greatly, will not be unwelcome to many souls; for to my mind the defence made by those friendly to revelation is in general almost as feeble, and in many cases quite as painful, as the attacks of its foes. May He whose grace is rich to all that call upon Him bless every reader, as He bears with my shortcomings, though earnestly desiring to magnify Himself and His word!
