[CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS’ NEW BOOKS.]
Biblical Study. Its Principles, Methods, and a History of its Branches. Together with a Catalogue of a Reference Library of Biblical Study. By Charles A. Briggs, D.D., Professor of Hebrew and Cognate Languages in Union Theological Seminary. 1 vol. 12mo, $2.50.
Professor Briggs’ book is admirably adapted for the use of the great number of readers and Bible students who desire to know the results of the most recent investigation and the best modern scholarship in the field of Biblical Study. Without such a guide it is impossible to comprehend the discussions which now agitate the religious world as to the canon, the languages, the style, the text, the interpretation, and the criticism of Scripture. Each of these departments, with other kindred topics, is treated in a brief but thorough and comprehensive manner, and their history and literature are presented together with their present aspect.
The Scriptural Idea of Man. By Mark Hopkins, D.D., LL.D., 1 vol., 12mo, $1.00.
“We wish every theological student in the land might have the chance, at least, of reading this book. The doctrines of the Bible in relation to man in his original nature have seldom been more powerfully enforced, and the different schools of modern infidelity have seldom been exposed more completely in all their weakness. It is like taking a tonic or a breath of mountain air for one to listen to such teachings as the pen of Doctor Hopkins here gives to the younger race of ministers.”—The Christian Intelligencer.
The Grounds of Theistic and Christian Belief. By George P. Fisher, D.D., LL.D., Professor of Ecclesiastical History in Yale College, 1 vol., crown 8vo. $2.50.
This volume embraces a discussion of the evidences of both natural and revealed religion, and prominence is given to topics having special interest at present from their connection with modern theories and difficulties. Professor Fisher’s learning, skill in argument, and power of language have given him the position of one of the foremost defenders of the faith now living, and this volume will be useful to many in clearing up perplexities and throwing new light upon the nature of the Christian faith and its relation to modern thought.
Christian Charity in the Ancient Church. By Dr. Gerhard Uhlhorn, author of “The Conflict of Christianity with Heathenism.” 1 vol. crown 8vo, $2.50.
