Qui n'a jamais été découragé face au défi de lire et surtout de comprendre la Bible ? En effet, elle est composée de milliers de pages dont certains contenus, parfois rébarbatifs, semblent se superposer, voire se contredire. Or, ces appréhensions disparaissent rapidement avec un minimum de données. Ainsi, ce "Survol de la Bible" nous aide à aborder les Ecritures d'une manière conviviale, mais sérieuse, tout d'abord par le biais d'informations générales autour de la Parole de Dieu dans son ensemble et sa transmission en français, et ensuite, en proposant un résumé simple de chaque livre, en ce compris les deutérocanoniques, même si l'auteur est protestant évangélique. Le contenu est rehaussé de figures et de tableaux permettant de décrypter "en un clin d'œil" quelques subtilités. En clair, le "Survol de la Bible" s'adresse tant aux débutants (nouveaux convertis, adolescents, personnes en recherche spirituelle) qu'aux chrétiens plus aguerris (introduction à la lecture quotidienne ou support pour des études plus approfondies)., Éditions Croix du Salut, 2015, A Paris / à Lyon, chez Rusand, 1822. 2 forts vol. au format in-8 (212 x 135 mm) de 2 ff. n.fol., xxvi - 456 pp. et 1 f. n.fol. ; 2 ff. n.fol., 474 pp. et 1 f. n.fol., brochés, sous couvertures d'attente de l'époque de plein papier marine.. Ensemble complet de ses deux volumes. ''La vérité et l'erreur se partagent cette terre où l'homme ne fait que passer ; où le crime, les souffrances et la mort lui sont des signes certains qu'il est une créature déchue, où la conscience, le repentir, et mille autres secours lui ont été donnés par la bonté du Créateur pour le relever de sa chute ; où il ne cesse de marcher vers le terme qui doit décider de sa destinée éternelle, toujours soumis à la volonté de Dieu, qui le conduit selon la profondeur de ses desseins, toujours libre, par sa volonté propre, de mériter la récompense ou le châtiment. Deux voies lui sont donc ouvertes, l'une pour la perte, l'autre pour le salut. Parmi ces interprètes de la vérité, si visiblement choisis et appelés par elle pour rétablir son empire et relever ses autels, nul n'a paru avec le plus d'éclat que Joseph de Maistre. De même que celles des prophètes, ses paroles dévoilaient l'avenir, en même temps qu'elles indiquaient aux hommes les moyens de les rendre meilleurs.''

New York: The British Library of Information, 1941. First U.S. edition, only printing. Leaflet. This is the first edition, only printing of Churchill's January 9, 1941 speech to the Pilgrims Society (referred to as "the Pilgrims" in the title on the cover) welcoming Lord Halifax as British Ambassador to the United States. Founded in 1902, the Pilgrims Society is an Anglo-American organization whose objective is "the encouragement of Anglo-American good fellowship". Edward Frederick Lindley Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax (1881-1959) became British Ambassador to the United States after the sudden death of Lord Lothian in December 1940. Halifax, then the Foreign Secretary, was appointed only after both Lloyd George and Oliver Lyttelton had been considered, and is an example of the many personalities and considerations Churchill balanced in his wartime coalition government. In choosing the architect of Chamberlain's appeasement policy as ambassador to the one nation Britain most desperately needed to join the war, Churchill is reported as reasoning that Halifax "would never live down his reputation for appeasement which he and the Foreign Office had won themselves" and that "He had no future in this country. On the other hand he had a glorious opportunity in America, for, unless the United States came into the war, we could not win, or at least we could not win a really satisfactory peace." (Gilbert, Volume VI, pages 952-953) Halifax reluctantly accepted the appointment, allowing the return of Anthony Eden to the Foreign Secretary post, which he had resigned in 1938 in opposition to Chamberlain's appeasement policy. Halifax served as Ambassador to the U.S. until May 1946. In this address to the Pilgrims Society, Churchill calls Halifax "a man of light and learning" and, perhaps anticipating the effect of his new ambassador's pro-appeasement history, Churchill says: "I have often disagreed with him in the twenty years I have known him, but I have always respected him and his actions because I know that courage and fidelity are the essence of his being..." Of the critical relationship between Britain and America, Churchill states: "The identity of purpose and persistence of resolve prevailing throughout the English-speaking world will, more than any other single fact, determine the way of life which will be open to generations, and perhaps to centuries, which follow our own." This pamphlet is one in a series of Churchill's speeches printed by the British Library of Information in New York. As do most in the series, this example bears a cover design featuring 3 vertical rules along the right side and a royal arms device at the top right. The British Library of Information published twenty-nine editions of statements, speeches, and broadcast addresses by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, beginning with his first speech as Prime Minister of May 13, 1940 and ending with the broadcast address of November 29, 1942. These editions were often issued within two or three days of delivery and "reveal the political determination of the British government to bring the inspiration and steadfastness of the Prime Minister and the British nation to an American nation not yet engaged in the war. Indeed, twenty-two of the BLOI speech pamphlets were published before Pearl Harbor." (Cohen, Volume I, p.513, A120) This first edition, only printing of Churchill's January 9, 1941 speech is a four-page folded paper leaflet measuring 9 inches tall x 6 inches wide and printed on the first three pages. This example is in fine condition - crisp, clean, and bright with no wear. The only trivial flaw is a .25 inch rust stain offset from where we presume this leaflet once rested against a sister pamphlet with a lightly rusted binding staple. Despite this trivial flaw, a lovely copy. The paper is crisp, bright, and clean with no wear or soiling. Protected in a removable, archival mylar sleeve.
