Canstein (1667-1719) was founder of the Canstein Bible Institute at Halle, the world’s first Bible Institute. In 1691 he became acquainted with the great Pietist Spener and formed a lifelong friendship with August Hermann Franke, assisting him in his various labors. By the time of Canstein’s death, the Bible Institute had produced about 100,000 New Testaments and 40,000 complete Bibles. This volume is the literary result of Canstein’s unceasing study of the Bible. 1108, 610, register pages.
