Balmforth, Ramsden. Bible from the standpoint of higher criticism. 2v. ea. [*]$1.25. Dutton.
Two volumes devoted respectively to the Old and New Testament, which discuss in popular and non-technical form the results of the higher criticism. “The true basis of religious union is shown to be where Jesus put it, not in the speculative doctrines which divide men, but in the moral effect which unites them.” (Outlook.) Illustrations are drawn from the various classes of literature and periods of history.
“Its object is to show that, after all, the Bible is worth studying.”

“Mr. Balmforth’s discussions are bold, almost blunt, but they are reverent and well considered, and they will do good service in promoting familiarity with the achievements of Biblical scholarship in its most important field.”
