Vintage! THE SHORT BIBLE An American Translation in Brief HBDJ 1933

Description: THE SHORT BIBLE: AN AMERICAN TRANSLATION IN BRIEF Edited by Edgar J Goodspeed and JMP SmithNew York: A Modern Library / Random House 1933 THE SHORT BIBLE contains, in readable form, those portions of the Bible which have most meaning for modern life. The human situations out of which the Book arose can now be clearly understood. [from front cover] The editors of this volume were guided entirely by the principle of clarifying for the modern American reader all the obscurities of the Bible in its standard forms. They have emphasized the religious and literary qualities of the Book of books, and have made it easy to read and understand. The historical background of each book is traced in simple and succinct commentaries, and the very arrangement of the books themselves, in the probably order of their writing, throws new light on the development of religious thought. THE SHORT BIBLE is a boon to those who seek its essential truth and beauty. [from book flap] CONDITIONWhite dust jacket with blue lettering/designs as well as gold designs.
