Cleland McAfee (1866-1944) was a preacher and song writer from Parkville, Missouri. He was known for often writing his own songs that fit the theme of a sermon he was preaching, one of them being the well-known, "Near to the Heart of God." The material in this volume was originally presented as a series of lectures delivered at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in 1912. This classic work is an exceptional treatise on the King James Version of the Bible as an incomparable piece of English literature, as well as having a profound influence on English and American history.

We ask the reader to disregard the stray marks, spacing discrepancies and font irregularities.
