Harper, William Rainey. Critical and exegetical commentary on Amos and Hosea. [**]$3. Scribner.
“Dr. Harper is in thorough sympathy with the modern analytical method of the study of the Bible. He correctly says that the reconstruction of the text is the first duty of a commentator in the study of such writers as Amos and Hosea.... He also recognizes the profound moral and spiritual significance of the Old Testament history.”—Outlook.
“It is painstaking, accurate and thorough in scholarship, fair and sound in judgment, full and impartial in the statement of contrary opinion, and mindful of its text. In general, President Harper represents the view of the modern critical scholarship. His views on many particular passages will be questioned.”
