*** This premium edition comes with a beautiful Easy-to-Read layout which makes reading comfortable *** The Bible is not only a text-book which leads us to the acquisition of the highest of arts-that of fulfilling the true purpose of life-but it is itself, as has already been suggested, a work of fairest art inasmuch as it contains a perfect delineation of the divine Beauty drawn by the sovereign Artist Himself. The following pages are printed from notes used in a series of lectures before the "Catholic Summer School of America" at Pittsburgh. They are neither an exhaustive nor a scientific exposition, but are meant as a suggestive introduction, in popular form, to the intelligent reading of the Bible. Herman Joseph Heuser was a Catholic priest, author, and educator. He obtained the degree of Doctor of Divinity.
