G. Campbell Morgan
George Campbell Morgan was born in Tetbury, England, on December 9, 1893. At the young age of thirteen, Morgan began preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Morgan and his wife, Annie, had four boys and three girls. His four sons followed him into the ministry.Morgan visited the United States for the first time in 1896, the first of fifty-four times he crossed the Atlantic to preach and teach. In 1897, Morgan accepted a pastorate in London, where he often traveled as a preacher and was involved in the London Missionary Society. After the death of D. L. Moody in 1899, Morgan assumed the position of director of the Northfield Bible Conference in Massachusetts. After five successful years in this capacity, in 1904 he returned to England and became pastor of Westminster Chapel, London, where he served for the next thirteen years, from 1904 to 1917. Thousands of people attended his services and weekly Friday night Bible classes.He had no formal training for the ministry, but his devotion to studying the Bible made him one of the leading Bible teachers of his day. In 1902, Chicago Theological Seminary conferred on him an honorary doctor of divinity degree. Although he did not have the privilege of studying in a seminary or a Bible college, he has written books that are used in seminaries and Bible colleges all over the world. Morgan died on May 16, 1945, at the age of eighty-one.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
These lessons are suggestive merely. The arrangement is intended to give a course whereby the student shall gain a comprehensive knowledge of the Bible as a whole. In the study and teaching much will be required which is not supplied in this pamphlet. That may be obtained in general literature bearing on the subjects. Thirty-nine lessons are arranged for each year so as to leave three months for vacation periods, and Sundays on which the Festivals of the Church will be the subject of teaching, Christmas, Easter, and others.
In all teaching a matter of fundamental importance is that we should know the material with which we have to deal, both as to the subject to be considered, and the stage reached in the mental development of those to be taught.
In the period of youth, from fifteen or sixteen years and upward, all the faculties-the intellectual, the emotional, and the volitional-are tending toward consistency and balanced activity. The working of the will is now seeking for reasons for its choices; and yielding to the inspirations of emotion. This is the time when no side of the complex nature must be neglected, as everything is rapidly tending toward a consistent and poised attitude of life, which may be wholly good or wholly bad.
The hour has now come in which students are ready to receive the whole Bible. This, however, should be done with a distinct understanding in the mind of the teacher, that the central and final value of the Bible is Christ Himself. I am more and more convinced in my study and teaching of the Word of God, that whereas it is not ours to choose, and say that certain portions of the Bible are on a higher level of inspiration than others, it is ours to distinguish the difference between shadow and substance; between the finger-posts that direct men toward the city of God, and the city of God itself; between the divers portions and divers places of the Old, and the unified and final speech of the New. We have to introduce our students to the whole Library, and to the central Person, showing the relation between the two.
In the teaching of the Bible at this period it is necessary that we recognize two main qualities, those namely of the history it chronicles, and of the teaching it
