Synopsis

A Compendious Introduction To The Study Of The Bible, An Analysis Of 'An Introduction To The Critical Study And Knowledge Of The Holy Scriptures' by Thomas Hartwell Horne provides a compact, scholarly reference work intended for students and researchers. This volume combines a Bible dictionary/encyclopedia with a biographical-geographical index, a general index of matters, and a catalog of principal scriptural passages to facilitate cross-referencing across the Old and New Testaments. Structurally, it outlines Part I on the genuineness, authenticity, and inspiration of Scripture; Part II on criticism and interpretation; Part III as a compendium of biblical geography and antiquities; and Part IV as an introduction and analysis of Scripture. The work emphasizes geography and onomastics, textual and linguistic criticism, prophecy, miracles, canonicity, and the relationship between the Testaments, while offering guidance on sources, quotations, and scholarly cross-links. Edited by John Ayre, this 19th–century Protestant reference aims to aid researchers, students, and editors in locating persons, places, topics, and passages with concise descriptions for study.
