“As to the text of this history, while it has had the benefit of readings and suggestions by many historical experts, it retains the great advantage of a continuous narrative written by a single hand, and thus adhering to a well-proportioned scheme.”

“First, as to its general design, it undertakes to exhibit each book both in its general teaching and in the specific teaching of its several sections. Next, as to the school of criticism represented, it is composite, some of its volumes representing the older and others, especially in some Old Testament books, the newer school. The present ‘Index’ is by subjects, texts, and authors quoted; there are, for instance, forty-eight citations from Renan. The accompanying Introductions present an appreciative and discriminating review of the progress and general results of Biblical criticism up to the present time.”—Outlook.
