In 'Organizing and Building Up the Sunday School,' Jesse Lyman Hurlbut presents a comprehensive guide for establishing and enhancing Sunday school programs within Christian communities. As a venerated contribution to the Modern Sunday School Manuals series, this work functions as both a pedagogical blueprint and a pastoral resource. Hurlbut's prose is accessible yet thorough, articulating effective strategies and organizational frameworks with a pastoral sensibility that is reflective of his depth of experience in religious education. This special edition, brought forth by DigiCat Publishing, is a meticulous reproduction of Hurlbit's original work, seeking to preserve the tome's didactic essence while presenting it within a new modern format that appeals to contemporary audiences interested in ecclesiastical pedagogy. Jesse Lyman Hurlbut was a man deeply immersed in the Christian education movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An ordained minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church and a prolific author of Sunday school literature, Hurlbut's experiences as an educator and clergyman are manifest throughout the pages of this manual. His insights within the book likely stemmed from his fervent belief in the transformative power of Sunday school on individual and communal spiritual growth. This volume is recommended for Sunday school teachers seeking a foundational text to guide their curriculum and classroom management, and for clergy and lay leaders aiming to enrich their congregation's educational offerings. Hurlbut's manual remains a seminal work in the canon of Christian education literature. Readers will appreciate the new format by DigiCat Publishing, which honors the author's original intent while making the material more accessible to a 21st-century readership. 'Organizing and Building Up the Sunday School' is an indispensable tool for those aspiring to nurture the faith and knowledge of their religious community.

"The divine revelation which the Bible contains is given in the form of a history. God revealed his plan of saving men not in a system of doctrine, but in the record of his dealings with the world at large, and especially with one people. To understand this revelation it is necessary for us to view the great stream of history contained in the Bible. Our study on this subject will include the principal events from the creation of man, at a date unknown, to the birth of Christ." CONTENTS I. The Old Testament World II. Old Testament History III. The Beginnings of Bible History IV. The Wandering in the Wilderness V. Institutions of Israelite Worship VI. The Land of Palestine VII. The Conquest of Canaan VIII. The Age of the Heroes IX. The Rise of the Israelite Empire X. The Reign of Solomon XI. The Temple on Mount Moriah XII. The Kingdom of Israel XIII. The Kingdom of Judah XIV. The Captivity of Judah XV. The Jewish Province XVI. The Old Testament as Literature This book has been prepared at the request of the New York State Sunday School Association, through its Normal Committee. The desire was expressed for a teacher-training course to include two years in the Bible: one year upon subjects contained in the Old Testament, taking the historical point of view, and presenting with the history the lands and the Israelite people, their institutions of worship; and a second year upon the New Testament, following the same plan. Those who have studied "Revised Normal Lessons" and "Studies in Old Testament History" will find most of these "Outline Studies" familiar; for it has not been my purpose, as it was not the desire of the committee, to furnish a series of new lessons, but to have the subjects of Old Testament study brought together in one volume. Each subject, however, has been studied anew, and the results of recent knowledge, especially in the chronology, have been incorporated in this revision. At the request of the committee new lessons on "The Old Testament as Literature" and "How We Got Our Bible" have been added. It is my earnest desire that through these studies the Bible may be better understood and more thoroughly taught by the Sunday school teachers of our land. Jesse L. Hurlbut. South Orange, New Jersey, September, 1905.
