| Summary | "A Class-Book of Old Testament History" by G. F. Maclear is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work provides an overview of the Old Testament, tracing biblical narratives from the Creation to the time of Ezra and Nehemiah. It explores key events and figures, including the Creation, the lives of the Patriarchs, and the Exodus, aimed at educating readers on the foundations of Old Testament history. The opening of this text begins with the profound assertion that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." It emphasizes the concept of Creation as a deliberate act by God, contrasting it with ancient pagan beliefs. Maclear outlines the six days of creation, detailing the formation of light, the separation of land and water, and the creation of mankind in God’s image. He also discusses the significance of the Garden of Eden, the Fall of man, and the implications of human disobedience, establishing an initial framework that sets the stage for humanity's need for redemption and the overarching narrative of the Old Testament.
