Osborn's Class-Book of Biblical History and Geography

A Class-Book of Biblical History and Geography, by Professor H. S. Osborn, LL. D., published by the American Tract Society, 1890.

From the preface:

"This work is a Class-Book of the Old and the New Testaments treated as consecutive history. It includes the Jewish history of the centuries between the close of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New... It presents those important elements of Biblical history which distinguish it from all other histories and which illustrate the plan and the purpose of the Bible as one Book... In the treatment of this history we have allowed no space for mere opinions or speculations. The work is purely historical, and its text is illustrated only by that which is pertinent and well authenticated, in either geographic or archeological discovery."
