This Month's Subject: What the Bible Says About Itself
From:
Bible Student: Volume 3, 1883
• 7 min. read • grade level: 9
The subject worked out for this month is-What the Bible says about itself. We regret that, owing to the incomplete manner in which the method for working out the subject was indicated, the papers sent in by the class have almost all been arranged on different plans, and we have found it impossible in the short space of time available, to prepare anything like a satisfactory result. Instead, therefore, of printing a paper which- would have been in all respects incomplete, we have thought it advisable to limit the subject, and to present our readers with a result which, though much less extended than the original one proposed, will we trust be found interesting. It may be styled a list of the events in the Old Testament which are alluded to, and of passages whose authorship is confirmed by the New Testament.
The papers sent in as illustrating the connection between various parts of the Old Testament are reserved for the present, and we hope to present our readers at no distant time with a result in part derived from them.
In addition to the passages referred to below, we would commend to the attention of all, those direct quotations which are prefaced by the words "It is written, " and would especially point out also that very many passages quoted from the Psalms and Prophets are introduced with the words " He (i. e. God) saith."
