A Rare Mid-Century Biblical Literature Classic

Part of Ginn and Co.’s acclaimed The Bible and the Christian Faith series, Poets, Wise Men and Seers by L. C. Latham is a beautifully produced mid-century reference volume exploring the historical, literary, and spiritual traditions of the ancient biblical writers, prophets, and seers who shaped early scripture.

Accessible yet scholarly, this 226-page hardcover bridges the gap between religious history and literary study — tracing the voices of the Old Testament poets and prophets through their cultural and theological context. It remains a compelling read for students of biblical history, collectors of vintage religious textbooks, and anyone drawn to the intersection of faith and literature.
