The Book
A 1910 edition of Great Epochs of Sacred History by James M. Gray, issued by the Moody Bible Institute as Paperback No. 122.
The volume is a paperback in softcover binding, printed in English in the United States, and measures approximately 7.25 inches high by 5 inches wide by half an inch deep, weighing roughly four tenths to six tenths of a pound.
It retains the character of an authentic early 1900s publication, with aged paper, period typography, and wear consistent with more than a century of use.
History & Provenance
James M. Gray was a theologian and educator, and the book offers a view of Protestant biblical scholarship during the formative years of the Moody Bible Institute.
Issued as Paperback No. 122, the work reflects the institute's mission of making theological education accessible to everyday readers, ministers, and students during a period of growing evangelical influence in America.
Written in Gray's clear and instructional style, the text explores the major biblical eras and turning points of sacred history, connecting scriptural events into a broader theological narrative.
Publications of this kind were widely used in Bible study groups, in church education, and in early correspondence style religious learning programs. Surviving examples are of increasing interest to collectors of antique theology, Americana, and Moody Institute ephemera.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
Antique theological books bring warmth, depth, and intellectual texture to a room in a way that modern decoration rarely manages.
The volume works on a study desk, stacked with leather bound classics, or shelved in a curated library, where its plain softcover and period type read as honest rather than ornamental.
Beyond the decorative appeal, it represents an important era of American religious education and early evangelical publishing, which gives it cultural significance as well as visual character.
