Beet, Joseph Agar. Manual of theology. *$2.75. Armstrong.

“Professor Beet’s ‘Manual of Christian theology’ expounds the views on the intermediate state which brought him into difficulty with the English Methodists some years ago, but otherwise it follows well-worn paths to conclusions which are now familiar and trite.”—Ind.


“Dr. Agar Beet’s is, no doubt, a good specimen of its class, but its main result is only to afford one more proof, if such were needed, of the futility of this kind of literature.”

“The value of Dr. Beet’s work—and it has considerable value—lies in its minute knowledge and skilful use of the words of the Biblical writers, and in the systematizing of the thoughts he finds in those words.”
