“‘A tour of Christian exploration.’ Pere Hyacinthe and his wife (who is an American) travelled from Algeria to Jerusalem, by way of Arabia and Egypt, and the travels are described in a lively and vigorous style.... The idea of the book is not the travel, so much as the relativity of religions of the peoples studied ... and Madame Hyacinthe Loyson’s point is the universal brotherhood of ... the religions of Allah and Jehovah and the Christian religion. In the co-operation of the three—and in the honouring by modern Christianity of some of the grander and simpler elements of the other two faiths, she sees the regeneration of the world.”—Acad.
[*] “There is a breadth of view in the book, enthusiasm and some little of that spirit which sees good in ‘every country but its own.’ It will not please theologians, but it may stimulate the thoughts of the ordinary religiously-minded man or woman.”
