Jesse Lyman Hurlbut
A collection of structured Bible study lessons aimed at children, written in the early 20th century. This educational resource serves to guide young readers through an engaging exploration of the Bible, providing a complete two-year course of study covering both the Old Testament and the New Testament. The lessons are designed to be accessible, with straightforward questions and answers that facilitate learning and comprehension. The opening of the text introduces the rationale behind these lessons, stemming from Jesse Lyman Hurlbut's experiences as a pastor who recognized the need for age-appropriate Bible instruction. He outlines a methodology that separates children into two groups based on age, enhancing the relevance and engagement of the material. Each section begins with a Bible story, accompanied by simple questions intended to reinforce key ideas and promote retention, making it a valuable tool for educators and parents alike who wish to convey biblical teachings to young audiences.
