Excerpt from The Cambridge Companion to the Bible: Containing the Structure, Growth and Preservation of the Bible; Introduction to the Several Books, With Summaries of Contents; History and Chronology; Antiquities; Natural History; Glossary of Bible Works; Index of Proper Names; Index of Subjects

A large space has been devoted to a description of the contents of the several books of both Testaments and of the Apocrypha. In the New Testament special attention is bestowed on the Arguments of the separate Epistles and on, a subject now much discussed, the relations of the Gospels to one another.

The external history of Israel has been drawn into a continuous narrative, and the religious history of the nation is sketched in the development of the Messianic hope. To the history of the Apostolic Age is appended an account of the condition of the Jews Greeks and Romans at that time.
