About this title

Synopsis

A New And Complete History Of The Holy Bible As Contained In The Old And New Testaments : From The Creation Of The World To The Full Establishment Of Christianity ; Containing A Clear And Comprehensive Account Of Every Remarkable Transaction Recorded In" by Robert Sears surveys a two-volume, illustrated history that situates the Bible within a broad narrative from Creation to the early Christian era. It presents a chronological bridge from the end of the Old Testament era into the New, emphasizing prophecy, fulfillment, and the unity of Scripture. The Old Testament is discussed in its classic divisions—Law, Prophets, and Writings—and the New Testament in its Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Revelation, with notes on authorship and dating and the canon’s status across traditions. A substantial Appendix examines textual transmission, variants, Masoretes, Keri/Cetib, and the roles of Hebrew, Greek, and Latin texts, including the Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac, and other ancient versions. The work also charts the history of translations into English and other languages, and the place of the apocrypha. It is designed for pastors, teachers, and families, blending narrative history with translation history, textual criticism, and devotional instruction.
