THE BOOK OF GENESIS.
Fifth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, price 7s. 6d.
“The execution of this (Expositor’s Bible) series has been excellent. Dean Chadwick’s treatment of the Gospel of St. Mark is in almost perfect proportion, happy in style, just and reasonable in temper, and full of helpful and suggestive thinking. The Colossians and Philemon, by Dr. Maclaren, finely illustrate those subtle, spiritual gifts of intellect and imagination that have made him the favourite teacher of so many earnest and devout readers. In the Book of Genesis a much more difficult and thorny piece of work fell to the lot of Dr. Marcus Dods. There are at the present moment peculiar difficulties in the treatment of those early chapters of Bible story. The minds of general readers are hesitating between the old literal and somewhat secular interpretation of the narrative, and the new, more scientific, but not always more ideal and spiritual reading of the record. That a settlement of the problem is possible, and indeed not far off, is the conviction of many who have most thoroughly studied the course and meaning of current thought; and they do not doubt that the result will be to restore to us, in the prelude of the history of redemption, everything the heart of faith needs and loves, perchance in a purer and nobler form. Dr. Dods has a steady head, a practised hand, and a determined will. With admirable address he has steered his way between the shoals and rocks of preliminary questions, and has brought safely to port his rich cargo of exposition, the produce of many an arduous voyage of discovery and research.”—Rev. Prof. W. G. Elmslie, D.D.
THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS.
Third Edition. Crown 8vo, price 7s. 6d.
“He shows himself to be thoroughly at home with his subject, and that his exposition is clear, intelligent, and characterised by a sobriety of judgment, a candour, and a sweet reasonableness which are worthy of all praise, is only what might be expected from a writer of Dr. Dods’ well-known abilities and culture.”—Scotsman.
“The most varied of Paul’s Epistles demands in its expositor a combination of qualities which is very rarely met with. He who would read it aright from beginning to end must be theologian, casuist, and historian all in one; he must be equally at home in the ancient and the modern Church, in ancient and in modern life. There is probably no man living in whom these characters are more at one than Dr. Dods; and though the student of exegesis may sometimes look in this book for what he will not find, the practical expositor will recognise in it a model of what his work should be.”—British Weekly.
