Bible Readings For The Home Circle
Published by International Tract Society Limited: London 1896 - Seven Hundred And Fiftieth Thousand
"Bible Readings for the Home Circle," published by the International Tract Society in London in 1896, was among the most influential late-Victorian devotional compendiums, designed to guide families and individuals through the study of Scripture by thematic readings. Structured as a question-and-answer manual, it draws on both Old and New Testament passages to address key moral, theological, and practical issues—such as salvation, prophecy, daily conduct, and the nature of faith—arranged for home discussion or small-group worship. The "Seven Hundred and Fiftieth Thousand" printing attests to its extraordinary popularity within Christian households of the era, reflecting its reach across the English-speaking world, especially among Adventist and evangelical circles.
Combining scriptural excerpts with concise commentary, this enduring volume served as both an educational and inspirational tool, encouraging consistent Bible study in an age of religious revival and domestic piety. Its accessible format, coupled with clear moral guidance, made it a staple in parlours and Sunday schools alike, offering a bridge between personal devotion and formal doctrine. This edition would strongly appeal to collectors of 19th-century religious literature, students of Victorian spirituality, and admirers of Christian devotional works in their original presentation."
