| Summary |
"Companion to the Bible" by E. P. Barrows is a scholarly examination of biblical texts and their interpretations, likely written in the late 19th century. This work is structured to serve as a reference for teachers, ministers, and laypeople seeking a deeper understanding of the Scriptures, particularly focusing on the historical context and interpretation of both the Old and New Testaments. At the start of the work, the author outlines the objective of the study: to assist readers in understanding the historicity and divine authority of the Bible. Barrows emphasizes Christianity’s foundation in historical facts and the importance of viewing the Scriptures as a cohesive narrative rather than isolated texts. The opening remarks stress the necessity to approach biblical interpretation with an awareness of spiritual and moral obligations, drawing attention to the coherence and unity of the biblical message across different parts. The discussion aims to empower readers to defend their faith through informed understanding of scriptural evidence against skepticism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
