An able series of papers on what should be taught children about the Bible in the light of Higher Criticism.

The question is one of vital importance and of a difficulty which can hardly be exaggerated. It will, perhaps, hardly be answered to general satisfaction in a single generation, but that it must be answered is obvious, and that it is the duty of every one who has even a little light upon the subject to turn that light upon others is no less clear. The little volume before us is very luminous. It contains papers by a number of people of special equipment for just such a work." -The Evangelist, New York.

Professor of Literature in English in the University of Chicago.

literary events of the times. It is part of the
renaissance of Biblical study; but it may mean,

and in our judgment it does mean, the renewal of a fresh and deep impression of the beauty and power of the supreme spiritual writing of the world. Each volume contains a very valuable introductory study of the book presented as a piece of literature; and this series of essays, summing up the results of Professor Moulton's long study, form a contribution of no small importance to the literature relating to the Bible. Each volume is also furnished with notes. The text used throughout the series is that of the Revised Version, the marginal readings being usually preferred."

"A most timely book. It meets the questions which
are stirring in the minds of many, specially of young men,
with candor, with ability, and in an attractive manner.
The literary illustration of the author's positions do
more than add charm, they strengthen his points; and the
copious notes in the appendix have pertinence and force
as buttresses to his argument. The work throughout is
full of the spirit of Christ. It is the best one of a very
few books I should venture to put in the hands of a young
man troubled by doubts, with a reasonable assurance it
would lead to a settled faith in the Gospel of Christ."--

COMMENTS

"Unquestionably here is a task worth carrying out; and it is to be said at once that Dr. Moulton has carried Presbyterian it out with great skill and helpfulness. Both the and Reformed introduction and the notes are distinct contribuReview tions to the better understanding and higher appreciation of the literary character, features, and beauties of the Biblical books treated." "The volumes are excellent in plan, paper, print, and price, and cannot but be helpful in preparing the way for a The Church wider appreciation first of the literary and then of the spiritual power of the Bible."

"As a volume of religious biography, illuminating and quickening the faith of those who read it, it deserves and will have a high place."-The Outlook.

"The studies, though brief, are highly suggestive; much learning and discriminating thought have gone into their preparation. Dean Farrar's closing article, which is a sort of exhortation on the basis of all that has gone before, is cogent as well as fervent, and contains suggestions of vital import for present-day Christianity."-The Epworth Herald.

"Notable both on account of the subjects treated and the eminence and ability of the authors."Christian at Work.
