“Examination of the work reveals not only a thorough and painstaking scholar, but also a writer of no little skill in holding material well in hand, in suppressing overplus of detail and bringing salient points into the clear, and also in presenting critical results with a minimum of offence to the traditionalist. There are occasional blunders in proofreading.”

“Professor Ropes gives an admirable survey of Jewish Christianity, an admirable character sketch of the Apostle Paul, and an admirable summary of the modern view respecting the date, origin, and form of composition of the four Gospels. His interpretation of Paul’s theology is, unfortunately, couched too much in modern theological phraseology, and he seems to us to fail to bring out the most fundamental characteristic of Paul’s teaching, namely, its subjective character.”

“There is a refreshing old-time atmosphere about the volume of reminiscences recently written by the famous English chemist.... There is much ... in the way of illuminating recollections of later giants of the nineteenth century—the illustrious Bunsen, who pointed him the path to success in chemical research; Faraday, Pasteur, Huxley, Tyndall, Lister, Kirchoff, Helmholtz, Dalton, Jevons, and, outside the realm of science, Gladstone, Martineau, Francis Newman, Richard Hutton, John Bright, and Sir Leslie Stephen. But perhaps the most interesting aspect of this volume lies in the light it throws on the progress of scientific investigation in Great Britain.”—Outlook.
