Hieroglyphic Bible for Children

Description

This is the first American edition of a work first published in England and recommended by Rowland Hill, a founder of the London Missionary Society and author of numerous hymns and children’s works. Hieroglyphic Bibles used pictures to encourage children to “read” the Scriptures. Each page contained a separate Bible verse. In his forward, Rev. Hill wrote, “I fear we are not sufficiently attentive to the good of the rising generation. I hope your effort will excite a spirit of diligence in the minds of many, to attend upon the solemn and important duty of bringing up children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
