Patriarchs                   and     Prophets               By  Ellen G. White

           Introduction

  This volume treats upon the themes of Bible History, themes not in themselves new, yet here so presented as to give them a new significance, revealing springs of action, showing the important bearing of certain movements, and bringing into strong light some features that are but briefly mentioned in the Bible. Thus the scenes have a vividness and importance that tend to make new and lasting impressions. Such a light is shed upon the Scripture record as to reveal more fully the character and purposes of God; to make manifest the wiles of Satan and the means by which his power will be finally overthrown; to bring to view the weakness of the human heart, and show how the grace of God has enabled men to conquer in the battle with evil. 

All this is in harmony with what God has shown to be His purpose in unfolding to men the truths of His word. The agency by which these revelation have been given is seen - when tested by the Scriptures - to be one of the methods God still employs to impart instruction to the children of men.
