About the author
Born in 1870 and dying in 1946, Josiah Blake Tidwell was a Baptist educator and author closely associated with Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He is remembered for writing accessible religious study books that aimed to help readers understand the structure, history, and message of the Bible.
Tidwell wrote a large number of works, and his best-known titles focus on Bible teaching, study guides, and Christian instruction. The Bible Period by Period is a good example of his method: clear, orderly, and designed to help students and general readers grasp big ideas without getting lost in detail.
His legacy is that of a teacher first. Rather than writing for specialists, he wrote to explain, organize, and encourage, which is one reason his work has remained of interest to readers of public-domain religious literature.
