AMONGST the various "Bible Helps," The Illustrated Oxford Bible for Teachers stands pre-eminent. It abounds with instructive and useful illustrations which bring before the eye the life of ancient Egypt and Assyria, and plates which form quite a history of Bible manuscripts and English editions, and it possesses many valuable maps. The Holy Land and the more important places mentioned in the Bible are all carefully described in a way to enable the teacher to master their physical surroundings; while Bible animals, birds, botany, and minerals are individually dealt with. Such matters as the customs of countries are explained; and, indeed, everything seems to have been thought of which can in any way help the Bible student in his efforts to teach others. In the Concordance and "Subject-Index" there will be found very great assistance in the work of comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
