Rashdall, Rev. Hastings. Christus in ecclesia. [*]$1.50. Scribner.
“Dr. Rashdall is an efficient representative of the Broad church group in the Anglican establishment. In this volume of discourses he addresses himself especially to educated men and women. He is concerned lest religion be crowded out of life, either by revolt against narrow ecclesiasticism or by the pressure of other concerns.... To explain some Christian institutions, ideas, and practices to educated hearers, with a view to promote an interest in the Church and its ordinances at once rational and reverent, is therefore the main object of these discourses. Starting from a review of the Oxford movement as having restored the idea of the Church to its due prominence in Christian thought. Dr. Rashdall discusses in considerable detail the institutional side of Christianity.”—Outlook.
“His outlook is historical. These discourses serve at any rate for a temperate and eminently clear expression of what many educated but not professional readers will recognize as an intelligible common-sense view on points of current controversy.”

“The breadth and thoroughness of the discussion make the volume a helpful contribution to the reconstructive work now going on in religious thought. The general aim is practical. There is a note of reality, and of an intentness on reality, running through all these discourses.”
