The body of the work consists of notes that are concise, learned, free from verbiage and easily understood, that elucidate and explain difficult passages of Scripture, or whose import is not readily apprehended. Far in advance of the older works now in use, it is also the most practical, suggestive, and scientific.
Rev. H. Clay Trumbull, Editor of the Sunday-School Times: “I do not know of its equal within its scope and cost.”
Rev. J. H. Vincent, Bishop M. E. Church: “It deserves a place on the table of every Bible student.”

No modern writer has contributed more largely to enrich the biblical literature of our time, or to clothe with a fresh and living interest the main personages and incidents in Bible History than John Kitto in this magnificent work. Deeply interesting and instructive, and abounding in striking pictorial illustrations, it should have a place in every home. Over 100,000 copies of this popular work have been sold.

CRUDEN’S COMPLETE CONCORDANCE

By Alexander Cruden, M. A.

J. W. Bashford, D. D., President Ohio Wesleyan University: “It is a most admirable aid. I hope ten thousand teachers will use it inside the next six months.”
Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage: “It is in advance of all books in that line—unique, learned, accurate and valuable.”
