“‘The Wisdom of Holy Scripture’ is no ordinary book. It handles some of the toughest questions of theology and of sociology with original and intelligent strength. The author does not get outside the limits of evangelical orthodoxy, nor does he give sign of being fretted or hampered by the restraints of those limitations.”—The Independent.
ENGLISH STYLE IN PUBLIC DISCOURSE.
With Special Relation to the Usages of the Pulpit. By Prof. Austin Phelps, D.D., author of “The Theory of Preaching,” “Men and Books,” etc. 1 vol. 12mo, $2.
“This volume may be read, and not only read, but studied, with much profit by every one who has occasion to speak in public or to write for the public.... We have here a treatise on pulpit style broad enough to be that and something more—a satisfactory treatise on all English style.... It will be a great help to any who are striving to learn how to write and speak their mother tongue with precision, force and grace.”—The Examiner.
A CRITIQUE OF DESIGN ARGUMENTS.
A Historical Review and Free Examination of the Methods of Reasoning in Natural Theology. By L. E. Hicks, Professor of Geology in Denison University, Granville, Ohio. 1 vol. crown 8vo, $2.
“The book, as a compendium of thought on this vast theme, is one which no student can afford to do without.... We venture the prediction that Professor Hicks’ fascinating and in every way admirable treatise will become recognized as one of the works which not only mark but help to make an epoch in speculative thought.”—The Examiner.
FINAL CAUSES.
By Paul Janet, Member of the French Academy. Translated from the Second French Edition. With a Preface by Robert Flint, D.D., LL.D. 1 vol. 8vo, $2.50.
“No book of greater importance in the realm of theological philosophy has appeared during the past twenty years than Paul Janet’s ‘Final Causes.’ The central idea of the work is one which the whole course of scientific discussion has made the burning question of the day, viz., that final causes are not inconsistent with physical causation.”—Independent.
