| 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 inportant 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. |

| Quote about changing the content of this book |
| Propositions that needed thoughtful, prayerful consideration. [Undoubtedly refers to a proposal made by a prominent canvassing agent that Patriarchs and Prophets and Great Controversy be abbreviated and united.—W. C. White.] I have carefully considered these propositions and will now say, “Patriarchs and Prophets and Great Controversy must go out to the people as they are. They cover ground that reaches from the beginning to the close of this earth’s history, and they should not be changed.” With this question settled, I feel the assurance the Lord’s blessing will accompany the reading of these books. We are to make as little change as possible in books which contain the light that the Lord has declared the people should have. To drop out any part of these books would not result favorably; for they are as much needed today as when they first came before the world. {Ms1-1905.3} |
