“The story has some idyllic and romantic passages which are pleasant enough reading in their way—though it is all very artificial—but two-thirds of the book is distressingly dreary and futile.”

“This book is reverent and conservative. It concedes considerable to modern criticism, and will probably be read with profit by a section of the church whose orthodoxy would preclude a more thorough discussion. But it has no new message, it makes no real addition to biblical or dogmatic theology, and I doubt if it proves of great value to the scholarly world.” W. C. Keirstead.
