Excerpt from American Supplement to Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. 4: A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and General Literature

The important subjects relating to the Bible, which have been treated in the Britannica in an extremely rationalistic spirit (the later volumes in this regard exceeding the earlier), have been dis cussed in this Supplement in a reverent manner by American scholars of acknowledged ability. The views here presented, so far as they controvert the assertions of the English and German writers in the Britannica, will be found to be based on an equally thorough knowledge of the original languages and to show a more thorough sifting of evidence.
