"A Brief Bible History: A Survey of the Old and New Testaments" by James Oscar Boyd and John Gresham Machen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the Biblical narrative, covering significant events and themes from both the Old and New Testaments. It aims to explore God's redeeming grace throughout history, making it accessible for readers interested in understanding the biblical story. The opening of the book establishes its primary objective: to provide a survey of key moments in biblical history, starting with the development of the church during Old Testament times. It explains the geographical significance of the Old Testament narratives, particularly focusing on the regions surrounding Palestine, and introduces the tragic nature of early human history characterized by sin and disobedience. The text highlights foundational figures like Adam, Noah, and Abraham, setting the groundwork for the exploration of God's promises and the significance of faith in the unfolding story of salvation.
