Ottley, Rev. Robert Lawrence. Religion of Israel: a historical sketch. [*]$1. Macmillan.
“The main strength of Canon Ottley’s contribution to the now voluminous literature on the subject lies in his able and earnest effort to harmonize modern theory with church tradition.... The chapters ... likely to be read with some special eagerness are those on ‘The primitive religion of the Semites,’ ‘The contact of Judaism with Hellenism,’ and ‘The final stage in pre-Christian Judaism.’”—Ath.
“Those belonging to the author’s school of thought—and their number is very considerable—will, however, maintain that the good points of the book far outweigh its drawbacks. We are ourselves able to commend it as an earnest and serious contribution to a perplexing and deeply interesting problem.”
