This, briefly, is the story of the Bible as it has come to us from earliest times, all the way to the King James Version—and now to the most modern translations. To keep the story short, not all the details have been presented. But our hope is that the question, how our Bible has reached us, has been answered comprehensively enough to increase our enthusiasm for its use, and to cause its influence to be more effectual in our lives.

Equally important to the purity of the Bible, in obtaining the most exact and best translation and separating from it the interpolations of men and mistranslations, is an understanding of the message of the divine plan which it presents. Of great assistance to this end is the availability today of Hebrew and Greek concordances listing every word in the Bible, together with the meaning of the Hebrew or Greek term from which it is translated.

Likewise, we believe that it is due time for God’s Word to be better understood. Therefore, there have been other valuable helps provided by God. Most important among these is the book, “The Divine Plan of the Ages.” It is the first volume of a series of six entitled, “Studies in the Scriptures.”

Thousands have been helped to a better understanding of the harmony of the Bible through the use of these wonderful volumes, and we commend them to every thoughtful person interested in the study of God’s precious and inspired Word.
