CATHOLICISM—ROMAN AND ANGLICAN.
By the Rev. A. M. FAIRBAIRN, M.A., D.D., LL.D., Principal of Mansfield College, Oxford; Author of "The Place of Christ in Modern Theology," etc. Fifth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d.The Daily Chronicle, in a Leading Article, says:
"Such a work cannot but have a deep effect."
"Dr. Fairbairn's able and striking volume.... The treatment is throughout so thoughtful and free from narrow polemical bias."—Times.
"The book is certainly one every theologian must welcome—high-minded in tone, broad in its outlook, penetrating in its vision, and full of luminous apercus on the history of thought and of events."—Literature.
THE PLACE OF CHRIST IN MODERN
THEOLOGY. Eleventh Edition. 8vo, cloth, 12s."In some respects this is a great book. It strikes out a new and generally a fresh line of argument. The story of the development of thought during the Christian ages is a brilliant and vivid historical sketch, and will be a most useful piece of reference to the student."—The Dean of Gloucester, in the Pall Mall Gazette.
"His work is, without doubt, one of the most valuable and comprehensive contributions to theology that has been made during this generation."—Spectator.
"Dr. Fairbairn starts from the principle that Christian theology must be based on the consciousness of Christ; and from the fact that the historical Christ is only now, nineteen centuries after His appearance on earth, being recovered for human knowledge and faith.... A more vivid summary of Church history has never been given. With its swift characterisation of schools and politics, with its subtle tracings of the development of various tendencies through the influence of their environment, of reaction, and of polemic; with its contrasts of different systems, philosophies, and races; with its portraits of men; with its sense of progress and revolt—this part of Dr. Fairbairn's book is no mere annal, but drama, vivid and full of emotion, representative of the volume and sweep of Christianity through the centuries."—Speaker.
"The volume before us is the most weighty and important which he has yet issued. His treatises entitled 'Studies in the Life of Christ' and 'A City of God' contain much of great value; but in a sense they gave promise of better things to come, and this promise has been amply fulfilled ... in this very able and learned and altogether admirable discussion on 'The Place of Christ in Modern Theology.' ... The book is evidently one for the times, and doubtless attention will be widely drawn to it on account of the great importance of the subject of which it treats, the honoured name of its author, and the conspicuous ability, the competent learning, and the gracious spirit which it everywhere displays."—Scotsman.

ESSAYS AND ADDRESSES. By the late R. W. DALE, of Birmingham. Edited by his Son, A. W. W. Dale, M.A. Third Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
"They are excellent examples of the earnest, powerful, and closely reasoned addresses which Dr. Dale was in the habit of giving on important occasions."—Scotsman.
"Dr. Dale writes a brisk and vigorous style, and his blows fall as with the clink of a hammer upon an anvil."—Glasgow Herald.
BY PROF. JAMES ORR.
NEGLECTED FACTORS in the STUDY of the EARLY PROGRESS of CHRISTIANITY. By Rev. JAMES ORR, D.D., Professor of Church History in the United Presbyterian Theological College, Edinburgh. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"An interesting volume.... The volume is a valuable contribution to the history of the subject."—Scotsman.
"These lectures deserve publication. They are able, learned, and they show that Dr. Orr has the gift of research, and of looking at things for himself. To each of these themes (the neglected factors) he gives earnest attention, and he discusses them with overflowing learning and with great clearness. The product is solid, substantial, and after the thorough pattern set to us by German writers. He has abundantly proved his case."—Aberdeen Free Press.
"The volume is valuable for the new light it throws on the progress and influence of Christianity in the first three centuries, for the fulness of its details, and for the ability with which these are handled in working out the conclusions that are sought to be established."—North British Daily Mail.
BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
THE RITSCHLIAN THEOLOGY AND THE EVANGELICAL FAITH. Third Edition. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 2s. 6d.
"His volume is not a large one, but it is packed with matter, and it embodies the well-considered results of careful and extensive reading. It is the best English book we have on the subject. Nothing is left unnoticed that is necessary to a proper appreciation of this influential school of theology."—Critical Review.
"Professor Orr has done his work well. His treatment of Ritschlianism is scholarly, self-contained, and lucid, and no English student of religion in future can have any difficulty in understanding the position of the Ritschlian school, whether at home or abroad."—Church Times.
"It is a surprisingly well-written book, for the subject is supremely difficult. It is the best popular account of the great movement that yet been seen in English."—Expository Times.
THE UNHEEDING GOD, AND OTHER SERMONS. By the Rev. THOMAS G. SELBY. Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
"It is not often, in the somewhat barren records of pulpit literature, that such a noble and striking volume of sermons as this is given to the public. The present volume elevates its author to a front rank among the preachers of the time.... No more timely discourses than these could possibly be preached."—Spectator.
"An excellent volume of sermons. Mr. Selby writes in a pungent and forcible style, and has a great command of suggestive illustrations, taken from history, literature, and science. Some of the lines of thought opened out by him are very original, and we especially commend the fine sermon on 'Obscure Service and the Infinite Outlook.'"—Glasgow Herald.

[1] "Genesis may be made up of various documents, and yet have been compiled by Moses; and the same thing is possible, even in the later books of the Pentateuch. If these could be successfully partitioned among different writers, on the score of variety in literary execution, why may not these have been engaged jointly with Moses himself in preparing each his appointed portion, and the whole have been finally reduced by Moses to its present form?... Why might not these continue their work, and record what occurred after Moses was taken away?"—Professor W. H. Green, Schaff-Herzog Encyclopædia; article, "The Pentateuch."
