Hurlbut’s Story of the Bible, seems to me the best of the many books of the kind, and, as the fittest will survive, it will survive, as the mother’s textbook, for Sabbath afternoon; the children’s delight.

—James A. Worden, commissioner, Presbytery of Philadelphia

The titles of your chapters of themselves compel interest and will lead one on to the delightful contents. The illustrations are admirable. In these matters I prize my wife’s opinion more than my own, and she is particularly struck with these pages, and thinks that your Hurlbut’s Story of the Bible will be of great help to her in preparing for her Junior Endeavor work.

—Francis E. Clark, president (1887–1927), United Society of Christian Endeavor

If other children are like mine, you have done a good piece of work in the new book. The two to whom I have been reading the stories are aged four and six, and they are delighted with them and with the pictures also.

—Mr. Robert E. Speer, secretary, American Presbyterian Mission

It is magnificently gotten up and profusely illustrated. The stories are charmingly written, and will read themselves if you will give them a chance. In many homes it will go far toward solving the vexing problem of Sunday afternoon with the children.

—Marion Lawrance, general secretary, International Sunday School Association

  • Publication Date: 1890
  • Pages: 98

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

The aim of this little resource is to present an outline history of God’s chosen people, Israel, and to show their mission, how they were trained for it, and how the world was prepared to receive it. The volume consists of 10 studies, to each of which are attached blackboard outlines, questions for review, and subjects for special papers. It is designed for private study and classroom use. Any person who thoroughly acquaints himself with its contents will be well informed in Old Testament history.

This is a little volume for practical use in the narrower field to which the International Sunday School Lessons for the present year invite special attention. Dr. Hurlbut is an experienced guide in this region.

—The Presbyterian and Reformed Review

Dr. Hurlbut compresses much of the Old Testament history, enabling the reader by a little diligence to master it, and to understand the historic Scriptures as he never could understand them without grasping them in their wholeness and as a part of the system of revelation. Definitions, explanatory notes, dates, and Scripture references, with glimpses of contemporaneous history, are numerous, while the arrangement is progressive and systematic. It is a very useful compilation.

Dr. Hurlbut has performed a difficult task with much good judgment.

—Methodist Review

This volume furnishes a portion of the Bible for every day in the year. The passages follow the general current of Bible history, interspersing psalms where they belong, the whole being particularly suitable for devotional purposes. The work seems to be well done and doubtless there are those to whom it will be useful.

Manual of Biblical Geography

  • Author: Jesse Lyman Hurlbut
  • Publisher: Rand, McNally & Company
  • Publication Date: 1910
  • Pages: 158

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Manual of Biblical Geography provides insight on the cities and localities found in Scripture. Jam-packed with maps, illustrations, charts, engravings, and diagrams, this manual provides a geography and history of Noah’s descendants, Canaan’s conquest, the Tabernacle and Temple, David and Solomon’s empires, Christ’s life, the great Oriental empires, and much more.

This volume is a superb one, so far as . . . profuse illustrations, of a high order of merit, are concerned. . . . But we are confident it will be welcomed by a much larger circle of students, and is worthy of very generally use; indeed, we recall no similar work of equal worth. It combines Bible geography and history, and covers the whole period of sacred history from the earliest period to the present date. It will prove an invaluable aid to every pastor, Sunday school teacher, and Christian student.

—Homiletic Review

The Story of Chautauqua

  • Author: Jesse Lyman Hurlbut
  • Publisher: G. P. Putnam’s Son
  • Publication Date: 1921
  • Pages: 429

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

The Story of Chautauqua contains the city’s history, principles, and international influence. It follows the beginning and development of the Chautauqua Movement—a highly popular late-nineteenth- to early-twentieth-century adult education movement. The volume’s main focus is the Chautauqua Institution, an effort to advance religious education in Sunday school through teacher training. This volume includes 50 illustrations of the city’s leaders and infrastructure.

If every person who has been helped and inspired by the activities and influences inspired by the activities and influences represented by the word Chautauqua were to read this book it would become a ‘best seller.’ . . . Dr. Hurlbut has been intimately connected with Chautauqua during practically all of its history and is thoroughly familiar with its aims, methods, and accomplishments. He tells the story with skill and lightens up, with many an amusing anecdote, what might very easily have been a mere catalog of names and dates. . . . It is a record of no small achievement that is here set forth and it is worth recording.

—Auburn Seminary Record

Mr. Hurlbut has not burdened his readers with documentary details, but has aimed to tell his story in an entertaining fashion. In this he has so far succeeded that one is loath to lay down the volume once he has taken it up. Anyone who has ever been to Chautauqua or benefited by the work of that great institution will read this book with pleasure, and others, who know only the name, will be truly amazed at the almost miraculous power for growth that the first idea had.

—The Quarterly Journal of the New York State Historical Association
