PREFACE.
The following pages are printed from notes used in a series of lectures before the Catholic Summer School of America at Pittsburgh. They are neither an exhaustive nor a scientific exposition, but are meant as a suggestive introduction, in popular form, to the intelligent reading of the Bible. Some of the answers to questions proposed by members of the School during the course have been inserted where it seemed most suitable.
I take occasion here to express my deep appreciation of the courtesy shown to its visitors by the Directors of the Catholic Summer School. Their self-sacrificing spirit has secured to the organization the earnest co-operation of many gifted men and women animated by that refined Catholic feeling which constitutes the highest type of a truly cultured society. Nothing could have placed the institution on a firmer basis, or could better have given it that guarantee of success to which the last session has borne witness.
