Supporter of Publishing Work

The prophets and apostles who wrote the Bible said much about publishing the gospel by both voice and pen. They preached, they wrote messages, they produced and circulated books. Moses was commanded: “Write thou these words.” Exodus 34:27. “The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.” Jeremiah 30:1, 2. It was by the study of the writings of Jeremiah that a prophet said: “I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.”AGP 301.3

By every possible legitimate means the gospel is to be proclaimed by voice, written with the pen, and published by the circulation of books. The printing and circulation of literature is of great importance in this age of printing. The printing press is the greatest factor in the world today for imparting information and molding the sentiments of the people.AGP 302.2
