He was one of the most popular lay preachers and Christian apologists of his day: Sir Robert Anderson devoutly believed that the Bible was the inerrant word of God, and in this popular 1914 work, he corrects some mistaken beliefs about the Good Book that are held by even devoted Christians. From the special blessing God bestows upon Gentiles to misconceptions about how and when Jesus will return, Anderson sets the facts straight-as he interprets them from the Bible-and in the process inspires a return to a strict reading of Scripture as the path to true communion with God. While at Scotland Yard, Irish police official and religious scholar SIR ROBERT ANDERSON (1841-1918) helped investigate the Jack the Ripper murders, but he is best remembered for his works of Bible study, including The Coming Prince, Daniel in the Critics' Den, and The Silence of God.
