Critic Reviews
“"Through the scriptures I first met the characters of the Bible. But only through Alexander Whyte have I come to know them. Next to the Bible I find Bible Characters the greatest help in understanding the men and women in God's Word....Whyte writes brief biographies faithful to the Bible. He has a creative mind. Without stretching the truth, he stretches our minds to embrace the character of the individuals revealed here. He is never superficial. He writes like a modern newspaperman - in terms of human interest and deep insight. It's just as though he had interviewed an individual and returned to the newspaper office to write up the feature. As a former newspaperman I deeply appreciate his thoroughness and his talent."”
