E-text prepared by Al Haines "Men of the Bible; Some Lesser-Known Characters" by George Milligan et al. is a collection of character studies centered on various lesser-known figures from the Bible, written in the early 20th century. The work surveys these biblical characters through distinct essays, exploring their lives, virtues, and significant contributions to biblical history. The initial chapters focus on characters like Enoch and Barzillai, offering insights into their moral character and the contexts of their actions. The opening of the text introduces Enoch, highlighting his unique position as a devout man who "walked with God" and did not experience death, symbolizing unwavering faith and righteousness. The essay emphasizes Enoch’s companionship with God and the implications of his piety on his family life, illustrating that true spirituality can manifest amid everyday responsibilities. Following this, the text begins to delve into the story of Eldad and Medad, other significant biblical figures, offering glimpses into their contributions to the understanding of divine grace and spiritual empowerment within the community.
