PREFACE

THE  need  for  a  handbook  whose  aim  would
be  to  present  the  missionary  message  of
the  Bible,  has  led  to  the  preparation  of
this  book.  Its  central  theme  is  the  un-
folding of  God's  Plan  for  World  Redemption.
The  unfolding  of  this  redemptive  Plan  is  traced
throughout  that  portion  of  human  history  whose
record  and  whose  interpretation  are  alike  given
in  the  Sacred  Narrative.  The  progressive  revela-
tion of  a  body  of  truth,  and  the  advancing  devel-
opment of  a  human  agent  or  agency  by  providen-
tial dealings,  are  parallel  movements  in  the  un-
folding of  the  divine  Plan.  The  effort  has  been
made  to  recognize  the  place  and  influence  of  these
two  correlated  movements.
