The Old Testament is the greatest storehouse of biography ever written, yet its very wealth in vigorous personalities has, to a degree, obscured the story of these mighty characters. Their inspiring histories have been so intertwined with the events of their day that, except to the most careful reader, the real individual has not been entirely clear. In this volume Professor James presents the immortal personalities of the Old Testament as leaders in the thought and action of Israel, with each one standing out in full view against the background of the time. Such men as Moses, David, Hosea, Nehemiah, such women as Deborah are the subjects of these biographies, each one built on a carefully explored and firmly laid foundation.
