The aim of this book is to furnish students of the Bible with an outline which will enable them to gain a certain familiarity with its contents. Its publication has been encouraged by expressions that have followed public lectures upon certain books, indicating a desire on the part of Christians in general for a book that would, in a brief compass, give them some insight into the purpose, occasion and general setting of each of the books of the Bible.

With the second part of this volume, The Bible Period by Period, the aim has been to make a companion book to the author's "The Bible Book by Book." The twenty one periods selected are only one of the many ways in which Bible history may be divided and lays no claim to superiority.
