A new and complete universal history of the Holy Bible, including the Old and New Testament

and comprising all transactions recorded in the Sacred Writings, from the creation of the world, to the full establishment of Christianity : in which the several parts of Scripture are pleasingly related, and satisfactorily illustrated, obscure passages rendered clear; seeming inconsistences reconciled; the various significations of the most expressive appellatives elucidated; false translations amended, former errors corrected; and difficult texts made clear to every capacity : to which are added an ample and comprehensive display of the connection between the sacred writers and profane authors : also particular accounts of the lives and transactions of the most eminent patriarchs, prophets, and other servants of God, who, by an inspired Grace, have distinguished themselves in the display of divine wisdom : illustrated with notes historical, theological, civil, commercial, geographical, literal, critical, natural, military, political, systematical, chronological, argumentative, philological, explanatory, reconciliatory, biographical, practical and moral, the whole calculated to enlighten the understanding, purify the heart, and promote the knowledge of those Sacred Scriptures, by which we may obtain happiness here, and eternal salvation hereafter
