The Scripture of Truth: Its Origin; Its Science; Its alleged Inaccuracies and the Sacred Books of the East by Sidney Collett and published by Classics.
Having been often been asked to put in print the substance of an address on the Bible, which Collett delivered in the year 1904, on what was known as " Bible Sunday," that, having felt led to comply with that request, he has amplified and arranged the matter in the form in which this book is now presented.
In doing the purpose of the book has been to prepare in a simple, concise, and readable form such a book on the Bible as he would have liked to possess twenty five years ago, when, as a young Christian, for not only was he puzzled by many of the questions dealt with in the following pages, but was also entirely at a loss to know how he could obtain the desired help and information on these subjects.
The index furnishes a complete list of the subjects dealt with, but in order to make the book as complete as possible, the author has, among other subjects, traced the history of the Bible from its very commencement, and have dealt with such important themes as the canon - that is, whether our Bible as we have it is absolutely complete - the inspiration of the Bible, its alleged inaccuracies; it relation to the science showing how complete is the harmony between the two; and, finally, information, not generally known, concerning the sacred books of the East.
Technical terms have as far as possible been avoided, or, when used, they are explained.
