Synopsis

Outlines Of Scripture History by Joseph Esmond Riddle is an English abridgment of a comprehensive manual of Scripture history, intended for junior pupils and family study. Originally published in 1859, it offers a compact, chronological account of biblical events from Creation to the close of the Old Testament and through the life of Jesus and the early church. The work retains the sequence and major theological themes of the larger Manual of Scripture History, while omitting extensive notes and indexes. Each chapter presents a succinct narrative of key events—Creation, the Fall, the patriarchs, the Exodus, the Mosaic economy, the kings and prophets, the return from exile, and the life and teachings of Christ and the Apostles—followed by a short set of questions for examination. The author’s aim is to promote clear understanding of sacred history and its theological significance, making the history accessible to younger readers and families, while preserving essential chronology and doctrinal perspective. It is structured to guide young students through a faithful survey of Scripture history, with emphasis on the progression of divine revelation, the continuity from Old Testament history to the coming of Christ, and the formation of early Christian church.
