Book excerpt: He was one of the most popular lay preachers and Christian apologists at the turn of the 20th century: Sir Robert Anderson devoutly believed that the Bible was the inerrant word of God, and in this popular work, he reinterprets the Old Testament Book of Hebrews for modern believers.

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.
