The source from which the most important evidence has been derived, is the confession, which has been brought out of its obscurity, and many passages of great interest quoted from it, by various writers. But, as these, however accurate they may be, will not supply the place of the work itself nor afford as satisfactory evidence to the inquirer, it cannot but be useful to render it accessible to the general listener, by means of an English translation; and to enable every one to judge for himself of the purity of the faith originally planted in Ireland.

Letters are constantly coming in from all quarters asking how to study the Bible. This book is written as an answer to those who have asked the question, and to those who may wish to ask it. Nothing is more important for our own mental, moral, and spiritual development, or for our increase in usefulness, than Bible study. “How to study the Bible so as to get the largest profit from it?” is a question of immeasurable importance. I have promised for two years to put the answer in a permanent shape, but have never found time to do so until now.

Experience is not what a man thinks through, but what he lives through. The Bible is like life and deals with facts, not with principles, and life is not logical. Logic is simply a method of working the facts we know, but if we try to make God and other people logical, we shall find that the experience of life brings us to other conclusions. God sees that we are put to the test in the whole of life. We have to beware of selecting the portions of life only where we imagine we can live as saints and of cutting off any part of life because of the difficulty of being a Christian there.

The question of forming habits on the basis of the grace of God is a very vital one. God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all his divine resources, but he cannot make us walk according to his will; the practising is ours, not God’s. We have to take the initiative and “add to...faith virtue...". To take the initiative means to make a beginning, and each one of us must do it for himself: We have to acquaint ourselves with the way we have to go; and beware of the tendency of asking the way when we know it perfectly well.

It is always a pleasure to me to speak on the subject of this volume. I think I would rather preach about the word of God than anything else except the love of God; because I believe it is the best thing in this world. We cannot overestimate the importance of a thorough familiarity with the Bible. I try to lose no opportunity of urging people by every means in my power to the constant study of this wonderful audiobook. If through the sections that follow, I can reach still others and rouse them to read their Bibles, not at random but with a plan and purpose, I shall be indeed thankful.

What is the history between the Old and New Testaments? Most people are not even aware there is such a gap. But there is: a 400-year gap. When the Old Testament leaves off, the Jews have just returned back from Babylonian captivity and the Persian Empire is in full swing. When Jesus enters the scene, it is 400 years later. The Persians are long gone, the Greeks have had their time, and now the Romans rule to roost. So what happened? Do we have any writings from this time? Could understanding this period of time help us understand the New Testament, the world of Jesus and the Apostles?
