Getting Acquainted with the Bible is a primer that aims to introduce the Bible's big picture and purpose, answering such questions as: What are its parts? Why study it? What is its story, its plot? How do its various parts fit in that story?
This book by James Janeway (1636–1674) was published in 1670. The work has been modernized and published here as “Acquainted with God,” being the chief doctrine and text of the work itself which Janeway teaches his readers. He presses his readers to be “Acquainted with God” through His Son Jesus Christ. This “acquaintance” is not a mere speculative knowledge of God, but an experimental knowledge which gives God’s people unspeakable happiness throughout eternity, and a life that’s filled with the holy love of God. Being acquainted with God means that people may have, as their friend, the Savior Jesus Christ. This is not a scan or facsimile, and contains an active table of contents for electronic versions.
