by Thomas Linton Leishman
Those seeking a direct, uncomplicated approach to Biblical history will welcome this volume. Students of the Scriptures, including those with a modest knowledge of the Bible, will find their comprehension and appreciation of the Bible enriched.
Thomas Leishman's perceptive understanding of the Scriptures, acquired through a formal theological training and a lifelong study of the Bible and related subjects, is apparent throughout this authoritative work. Although the author has been a student of Christian Science for some years, the book does not reflect any denominational viewpoint nor is it an interpretation of the Scriptures.
Many are familiar with Mr. Leishman's series, "The Continuity of the Bible" as separate articles published in The Christian Science Journal since 1963. This book, which bears the series title, is a compilation of those articles covering the period from Noah to Joshua. In consecutive chapter form, the articles take on a fresh note. The thread of continuity underlying the Scriptural record becomes more illumined and apparent when these articles are presented in book form.
The opening pages introduce the reader to the scope of the Holy Bible. Beginning with the account of Noah, the story continues through the great epoch years of Joseph and concludes with Moses' selection of Joshua as his successor and the one to actually lead the children of Israel into the Promised Land.
