The Right and Wrong Uses of the Bible

The Right and Wrong Uses of the Bible is a Religious Book. In this book the author tells that my custom for several years to give occasionally a series of sermons, having in view some systematic instruction of the people committed to my care. Such a series of sermons on the Bible had been for some time in my mind. With the recurrence of Bible Sunday in our Church year, this thought crystallized in the outline of a course that should present the nature and uses of the Bible, both negatively and positively, in a manner that should be at once reverent and rational. In the course of this parochial ministration public attention was called to it in a way that has rendered a complete report of my words desirable. The views set forth in these sermons were not hastily reached or lightly accepted. They represent a growth of years. The general view of the Bible herein set forth rests upon the conclusions of no new criticism.
