From Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church, London. Conducted by the Minister, the Rev. F. Townley Lord

Is the Bible really a dull hook. as people sometimes say? If the thing that makes a book attractive is its 'human interest' and its pictures of living people of all kinds, then the Bible is the most fascinating hook in the world. In his third talk, Dr. Townley Lord shows how the Bible is a kind of picture gallery, full of vivid portraits. He distinguishes four types of people portrayed in the Bible - good people, bad people, the good who go wrong, and the bad who make good, and he invites listeners to recognise their own portrait among them.
