Scripture texts illustrated by general literature

"Scripture Texts Illustrated by General Literature" by Francis Jacox is a study that uses literature to explain ideas in the Bible, likely from the late 1800s. It looks at big ideas like right and wrong, sin, and what it means to be human, using stories and writings to help understand the messages in the Bible. The book starts by talking about how everyone can be blamed when one person does something wrong, like in the Bible story of Achan. Jacox connects this idea to other books and thinkers, showing how bad actions can have effects that spread through time and society, involving others. The text makes readers think carefully about how people's actions are connected and how one person's behavior can have a lasting impact on others, teaching that no one sins alone.
