“Its essence is certainly radical, and is intended to meet the esoteric needs. And it is an illustration—very important and interesting—of a movement of thought in the Catholic as well as the Protestant church.”

Tyrrell, Rev. George. Through Scylla and Charybdis; or, The old theology and the new. *$1.50. Longmans.
An exposition by a broad and spiritually minded Catholic upon both the dogmatic and the political position of priests. “It deals with the difference between revelation and theology, and leaves the reader with the impression that in Father Tyrrell’s mind dogma can now only be accepted metaphorically, as the changing expression of the truth,—as if one were to say, for instance, that remorse is a revelation and hell a metaphor, forgiveness a revelation and absolution a metaphor.” (Spec.)
“The book makes its appeal to every one at all modern in sympathy who is at the same time not disposed to cut the Gordian knot and let religion altogether go by the board.”

“His book, though addressed to Catholics, is profitable reading for Protestants also, many of whom need some of its lessons.”
