“As a play it ranks lowest in the four plays Mr. Phillips has written; this position it maintains as a poem. The work is deftly knitted together; it has beauty of form, if not many beauties of line; but it has no great situations.”

Phillips, Thomas W. Church of Christ, by a layman. [*]$1. Funk.
This volume is the result of a layman’s investigation of religious truth from heathen, Jewish and Christian standpoints. Under two general divisions, The history of pardon, and Evidence of pardon and the church as an organization, it makes a plea for unity, sets forth the original phases of Christianity, reviews all cases of pardon in the New Testament, and compares Jesus with other religious teachers.
[*] “The author sketches the history of Christianity with all the assurance of ignorance and then with equal assurance expounds his own theological views.”
