However, few of them know the experiences through which it passed in order that we might have it today. The purpose of this course is to search out the origin of the sacred scriptures and to learn of the great experiences in hardship, fire and hatred through which it has passed. Through all of these experiences God has miraculously preserved it for His people. A knowledge of this subiect is necessary, though much neglected. The course gives the student a foundation upon which he may build more detailed Bible study. lncluded also are suggestions as to qualifications necessary and methods for more fruitful study of the Bible.
