| Summary | "A Class-Book of Biblical History and Geography" by H. S. Osborn is an educational text that presents a structured historical account of the Bible, focusing on both the Old and New Testaments, and was written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of biblical events through a historical lens, including the significant periods of Jewish history that bridge the timeframe from the Old Testament's conclusion to the advent of the New Testament. The book also incorporates geographical insights, with maps intended to enhance the reader's understanding of the events discussed. The opening of this class-book begins with a preface outlining its objectives and structure, emphasizing a historical approach devoid of speculative opinions. It introduces the initial chapters by summarizing biblical accounts such as the Creation, the Garden of Eden, and the early generations of humanity, including significant lineage details that contribute to understanding biblical narratives. Moreover, it details the chronological framework utilized to analyze Biblical events and introduces the notion that names and their meanings are crucial for grasping the scriptural context. The narrative is designed to guide readers—especially educators and students—through biblical history in a clear and engaging manner, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the text's historical richness.
