Pictures from Old Children’s Bible Story Books<\/h1>\n

Old Bible storybooks for children contain a wealth of wonderful pictures useful for sermon illustrations, Bible class presentations, and writings. The following are some from my collection whose copyrights have expired and, hence, are in the public domain and are free to be used.<\/p>\n

Not all pictures from the books have been copied. Often the older books copied illustrations from each other, so I am trying to avoid repeats. I also left out images that were notably inaccurate or that contained inappropriate drawings.<\/p>\n
