| Description | This small pink booklet was printed by request for members of the Christian Society in Bournville, Selly Oak and Northfield. The booklet includes a printed version of an address written by Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury entitled 'Notes on Bible Study'. In this address Taylor Cadbury encourages her audience to consider the sort of Bible that they owned and how they used the book before considering 'various plans of reading'. Taylor Cadbury suggests:
'It is a good plan to read the Bible once or twice straight through, but it is hardly to be recommended to be done continuously. More profitable is it to take different books and study them thoroughly, find out the leading idea, then compare it with other parts, and so get at the spirit of the Bible.'
Taylor Cadbury suggests that whilst reading the Bible people ought to remember 'that the people we are reading about were just every-day people like ourselves' before recommending that readers should 'try occasionally to read a whole Gospel, or Epistle through at once'. Taylor Cadbury concludes her address by emphasising the value of reading the Bible aloud together. |
