Summary:

"The Bible Period by Period" by Josiah Blake Tidwell is a manual for the study of the Bible written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a structured resource for understanding the Bible by dividing it into various historical periods, each with significant events and teachings. The book likely appeals to students, educators, and those seeking a deeper comprehension of Biblical events and their theological implications. The opening of this manual introduces Tidwell's philosophy that emphasizes the importance of studying the Bible itself rather than merely discussing it. He expresses a belief in the Bible as the inspired word of God, with teachings that are foundational for both personal and national conduct. The first chapter discusses the creation narrative, addressing fundamental questions about existence, the nature of humanity, and the introduction of sin through the temptation of Adam and Eve. Tidwell plans to lead the reader through a series of topics designed for study and discussion with an eye toward developing a thorough understanding of Biblical history and its teachings across the specified periods.
