This volume covers early Biblical narratives—from Creation to the life of the patriarchs—presented in simplified language for moral and religious instruction. May emphasizes lessons in faith, obedience, and divine providence, aiming to make Judeo-Christian history accessible and relevant to a colonial audience, often linking Biblical virtues to values promoted in missionary. Vol. 2 continues Robert May’s religious instruction for youth in India, covering later Old Testament events through to the early history of Israel. The lectures highlight key figures like Moses, Joshua, and David, focusing on moral lessons and divine guidance. Written in an accessible tone, the volume reflects the colonial-era objective of promoting Christian values through Biblical stories. May’s work served both as religious education and as a cultural bridge in British missionary schools in 19th-century India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robert May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback \u0026amp; Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 385\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyan Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1819\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Lectures on Scripture History available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes – \u003cem\u003eLectures on Scripture History\u003c\/em\u003e is available here in Paperback and Hardcover; pick the one you want from the options above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote Lectures on Scripture History?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLectures on Scripture History is written by Robert May.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
