This second volume of a projected six-volume set of the complete Vulgate Bible presents the Historical Books of the Bible, which tell of Joshua's leading the Israelites into the Promised Land, the leadership of judges and kings, Israel's steady departure from many of God's precepts, the Babylonian Captivity, and the return of Israel from exile.

Volume III in this six-volume translation of the Vulgate Bible begins with Job's argument with God and continues with the Psalms and the Canticle of Canticles. Its seven Poetical Books mark the third step in a thematic progression from God's creation of the universe, through his oversight of historical events, and into the lives of his people.

Volume IV presents writings attributed to the "major" prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. Dire prophecies of God's impending judgment are punctuated by portentous visions. Profound grief is accompanied by the promise of mercy and redemption, a promise illustrated best by Isaiah's visions of a new heaven and a new earth.
