Teaching the Bible... Well, maybe not. Early 20th century charts and visual aids for teaching the Bible.

Here are some amazing, and extremely interesting, charts and visual aids that reflect how early 20th century Biblical teachers (not necessarily Biblical scholars) sought to teach their understanding of the content and message of the Bible.

In the early 1900s, Baptist pastor Clarence Larkin (1850-1924) created large wall charts to help teach the Bible. He called these charts "Prophetic Truth." The topics range from "The Seven Thousand Years of Human History" to "The Failure of Man" to "The (Spiritual) Underworld," seen above. Link (Thanks, Mike Love!)
