MySword Version::
1.X

This material seems appropriate for children ages 8-12. Like the Great Texts for adults, this 6 volume set examines the Great Texts of the Bible, but from a child's perspective. (I found the text fascinating from an adult's perspective as well in what practical lessons Hastings decided to draw from the text).

Each section begins with a scripture, and Hastings uses illustrations to relate the meaning of the passage for a child's life. Hastings focuses on practical lessons and the moral of the story that children might apply to their lives.

Unlike most of the other modules on this website, this is not intended to be an exact reproduction of Hastings material. I did make a number of changes to the theology, wording, illustrations, and meaning of some passages. This was necessary to make the material understandable and appropriate for a modern child.

Because Hastings studied the classics as an undergraduate, many sections include classic poems and classic literature quotes.

MySword Edition

This download includes two versions.  A commentary module and a book module with the same content.

In my view, this work is a great commentary module. The drawback is MySword lacks the ability to easily or quickly see all comments in a commentary. If you view the first verse of each book, you will  an  index of all comments for that Book of the Bible.

The book version is organized by Bible book and indented for easy reference.
