From Bishop Littlejohn, of Long Island.
“Dr. Geikie has performed his task—the most difficult in biographical literature—with great ability. His pages evince abundant and accurate learning, and, what is of even more consequence, a simple and cordial faith in the Gospel narratives. The more the work shall circulate, the more it will be regarded as a most valuable addition to a branch of sacred literature which ought in every age to absorb the best fruits of sacred scholarship, and to command the highest gifts of human genius.”
From Rev. Dr. Adams, President of the Union Theological Seminary.
“Another invaluable contribution in proof of historical Christianity. It is a beautiful specimen of typography, and we anticipate for it an extensive circulation, to which it is entitled for its substantial worth, its erudition, its brilliant style, and its fervent devotion.”
From the Rev. W. Lindsay Alexander, D.D., S.T.P., Edinburgh, Member of the Old Testament Company of Revision, Editor of Kitto’s “Cyclopædia of Biblical Literature,” etc.
“Dr. Geikie’s work is the result of much thought, research, and learning, and it is adorned with many literary excellences. It cannot fail to become a standard, for its merits are substantial, and its utility great.”
From the Rev. Dr. Curry.
“A careful examination of Dr. Geikie’s work seems to prove, what might before have been doubted, that just such a work was needed to meet a real want; it successfully indicates its own right to be, by responding to the necessity that it discovers.”
