7–31970.
In this narrative told by means of various passages of scripture, special stress is laid upon the qualities of the man David, the frailties over which the might of character triumphed, the friendship for Jonathan, and the anguish and grief over Absalom. The character development is traced thru the experience of exile, thru the early years of opposition to his rule over the two tribes, and thru the years of prosperity and adversity as king over Israel.
Rickaby, Rev. Joseph, S. J. Free will and four English philosophers; a study of Hobbes, Locke, Hume, and Mill. *$1.25. Benziger.
“Father Rickaby believes that, though men are slow to see and loth to own it, free will still remains the hub and centre of philosophical speculation. The four philosophers whose views are here criticized are Hobbes, Locke, Hume, and Mill. His method is to quote a passage from these authors and then discuss it.”—Ath.

“A long matured volume abounding with acute criticism and close reasoning. The most original feature of Father Rickaby’s treatment of the question is his theory on the working of free-will.”
