About This Book

This collection gathers sermon-based character studies by three prominent preachers, presenting concise expositions of many biblical figures — Abel, Abraham, David, Elijah, Moses, Peter, Paul, and others — arranged alphabetically and accompanied by devotional reflections. Each selection interprets motives, moral lessons, and spiritual significance drawn from preaching traditions, with occasional poems and curated fine-art engravings to illustrate scenes. An introductory essay frames the editor's aim to bring readers closer to scriptural personages through distilled homiletic insight. Selections vary in tone from exhortation to theological analysis and aim to make biblical personalities accessible for devotional reading and study.

About the Author

Moody, Dwight Lyman portrait

Dwight Lyman Moody

Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899) was a prominent American evangelist and publisher known for his influential role in the revivalist movement of the late 19th century. He founded the Moody Church in Chicago and established the Moody Bible Institute, which continues to educate and train Christian leaders today. Moody's works often focus on practical Christian living and biblical teachings, with notable titles such as "Bible Characters" and "Men of the Bible." His engaging anecdotes and illustrations, as seen in "Moody's Anecdotes and Illustrations," have made his sermons accessible and impactful, contributing significantly to evangelical literature.
