| Summary |
"Studies in Old Testament History" by Jesse Lyman Hurlbut is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work aims to trace the significant events from the dawn of biblical history to the opening of the New Testament era, illuminating the development of the Israelite nation and its divine purpose. It appears to be a study guide designed for both individual scholars and educators, focusing on creating a deeper understanding of Old Testament narratives. The beginning of this work establishes its purpose and framework. Hurlbut emphasizes that the Old Testament serves as a foundational history leading to the New Testament, intertwining religious and cultural teachings throughout biblical events. He notes several key events, such as the Deluge, the dispersion of races, and the migration of Abraham, outlining their roles in forming a divinely chosen nation. The introductory sections also include practical suggestions for studying the text effectively, making it clear that readers are guided to engage deeply with the material alongside biblical scripture.
