The Speaker's Bible 18 Volume Set (18 Volume set)

The aim of The Speaker's Bible is to preserve all that is worth preserving of the modern interpretation of the Bible. It is the thought rather than the expression which is retained, though the expression has not been rejected when it seemed worthy. So much, however, has been done in the way of condensing, re-arranging, re-writing, adding to and illustrating, that the sources have not as a rule been given. But so far as these are published sermons, they will be found in the Index to Modern Sermons which accompanies each volume. Written by James Hastings, whose many labors grew out of a twofold conviction: the importance of scholarship and its compatibility with essential Christian faith.
