Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life-Scenes From the Four Gospels: With Maps and Illustrations The object in this book is to give a fulness to the scenes in the Gospels by means of the various knowledge which modern research has placed within reach; and also to add freshness to them in our minds so much accustomed to see them in one point of view. How far this is regarded as having been accomplished will appear in the following notice which the first edition has elicited in the "Sunday School Times," Philadelphia, from one of its correspondents. "This volume, by the Rev. George Jones, of the United States Navy, is replete with information and truly dramatic interest. Every statement in it has been subjected to severest tests, and been found to consist with the simple truth. "It is a graceful and captivating harmony of the gospels, in which the reader is carried along from one scene to another with true historic accuracy, and yet with an interest rivalling that excited by fable or romance; while the careful sketches of the country and the customs of those days, introduce the sacred narrative to the mind as a new history, full of a reality never before so vividly seen and felt. "The exciting narrative of the whole life of our Lord is never interrupted, excepting where it is important to give descriptions of the country or its customs, and the reader moves along with the story, with a perception of its reality, as if he were himself an observer or an actor in its scenes. "The author has personally visited the land he describes, and with profound reverence for his subject, apparent on every page, writes with such singleness of purpose, simplicity and vividness, as to make the work truly 'life scenes from the four gospels.' "Pastors, Sabbath-school teachers and Christians generally will find the book very valuable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
