Assignment: Antonides begins by emphasizing that the Bible is the most important book and must be studied with the greatest attention. However, the study of history and antiquity is also important, as knowledge of these subjects helps in understanding the Bible and the ancient writers.
Foreword: In the extensive foreword, Albertus Voget, doctor and professor of theology, states that knowledge of classical antiquity, particularly the Olympic Games, can contribute to a better understanding of the Bible.
