    Lectures Introductory to the Bible Series

    By William Kelly

    ()

    About this series

















    A century of change in the
    constitutions and governments of nations since these Lectures were delivered
    has not outdated their usefulness. For their subject is the history of the one
    small nation, chosen in the wisdom and purpose of God to bring forth into this
    world His only Son, its Savior. His first coming has established God’s glory,
    putting away sin by the sacrifice of Himself, and at His second coming
    righteousness and peace will be universally displayed under His beneficent
    reign.



    A new generation is indebted to
    the author of these lectures for the unfolding of “the great principles of
    divine truth that meet us in weighing history”, principles that give
    understanding of the gracious purposes of God, rising over man’s failure in
    every age. “Man is as weak and erring as God is mighty and good”. The profit to
    our souls is not in spiritualizing what happened to Israel, but in the humble
    study of their example, with what was written aforetime about them “for our
    learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have
    hope” (Rom. 15.4).



    May God grant that these Lectures Introductory to the Study of theEarlier Historical
    Books may be used afresh by the Spirit of God
    for the present glory of the Son in the edification of His Church.

      The lectures which follow were delivered in London, during the month of May, 1870, and corrected from notes taken in shorthand, with additions. It may be painful to some that so much notice is taken of skeptical assaults on the Pentateuch. My object, however, is not only to promote the direct edification of the Christians who are quite unaffected by such puny efforts of unbelief, but to furnish helpful hints to those who feel either need of a candid answer to captious objections, or a wish to aid the feeble entangled by such snares of the enemy. These remarks, chiefly in the form of footnotes, unless I err greatly, will not be unwelcome to many souls; for to my mind the defense made by those friendly to revelation is in general almost as feeble, and in many cases quite as painful, as the attacks of its foes. May He whose grace is rich to all that call upon Him bless every reader, as He bears with my shortcomings, though earnestly desiring to magnify Himself and His word!

    William Kelly

    Born in Ireland 1950, I left home in 1966 to go to sea for fourteen years and then transferred to the oil and gas industry. The past 32 years has led me to onshore and offshore energy installations all over the world, UK waters, Shetland, Middle East and the South China seas. I am happily married with two children, now grown up and both working in the oil and gas industry. My interests run to Rugby as an amateur player over 27 years, flying, sailing and writing. For the past 11 years my wife and I have been living on our sailing yacht 'Grey Glider' in the Mediterranean travelling through Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey where the yacht is now based. At one point I owned a six seat twin engine plane and qualified as a multi-engine pilot and qualified to fly on instruments. I took up writing after being less than impressed and frankly disappointed with books bought in airports. I like to include some humour in my writing and prefer adventure thriller story lines. My work and my travels have provided wide and varied access to some remarkable and interesting places and situations. This has been one of the main sources for the ideas in my writing.Known to most as Ned Kelly after the famous Australian bush ranger.
