Bag om Hitchcock's New and Complete Analysis of the Holy Bible
The Holy Bible: Complete and How to Understand It, published
by author Roswell Hitchcock in 1869, breaks down the verses of
the Bible (more than 30,000) based on their meaning into 27 Books,
242 Chapters, and 2,369 Sections. Topics include Scripture, Jesus
Christ, Miracles, the Hebrews, Civil and Social Law, Fallen Man, and
Eschatology. It also contains Hitchcock's "Bible Name Dictionary,"
which describes more than 2,500 Bible and related names and their
definitions. Verses are cataloged with like verses, and, though large, the
book is extremely navigable. The Cosimo version is unabridged, including
the original illustrations by Nast and Carpenter and Cruden's Complete
Concordance to the Holy Scriptures; all in all, a unique collection. The Holy
Bible: Complete and How to Understand It is a perfect tool for the serious
Bible scholar and those who want to break the Bible down into its most
essential parts.
