Synopsis

"God doesn't seek for golden vessels, and does not ask for silver ones, but He must have clean ones."

Meant to be a companion to Moody's Bible Characters, Men of the Bible Continues the theme with character study on Abraham to the Penitent Thief. Moody saw these books as helpful to pastors searching for sermon help as well as encouraging to laypeople who are growing in the faith. These portraits of some of the most important characters of the Bible will lay a strong foundation of study for anyone interested in serious Bible study.

CONTENTS.

Abraham’s four Surrenders The Call of Moses Naaman the Syrian The Prophet Nehemiah Herod and John the Baptist The Man Born Blind and Joseph of Arimathea The Penitent Thief

About this title

About the Author:

Dwight Lyman Moody was a predominant evangelist, author, and publisher. Raised on a farm in Massachusetts, he moved first to Boston, where he converted to evangelical Christianity in 1856, and then to Chicago, where he prospered in business. He gave up business in 1860 and engaged in missionary work with the YMCA. He founded Moody Church and preached in the slums, emphasizing literal interpretation of the Bible and the need to prepare for the Second Coming. In 1870 he teamed up with the hymn writer Ira D. Sankey, and they began a series of highly popular revival tours in Britain and the U.S. Moody founded the Northfield School (1879), the Mount Hermon School (1881), and the Chicago Bible Institute (1889; now the Moody Bible Institute).
