BIBLICAL STUDY.
rro THE EDITOR 01 TEE "SPECTATOR."] 1.11.,—May we call the attention of your readers to the eleventh Vacation Term for Biblical Study, which will be held this year at Cambridge from July 26th to August 16th ? The object of the term is to give to students of the Bible, who feel the need of more scientific and intelligent study, a special opportunity of becoming acquainted with the results of modern Biblical scholarship, and of receiving systematic instruction on academic lines. The scheme is on a Christian basis, and lecturers are invited without respect to their denomination.
The idea which has been chosen this year for illustration by the entire series of lectures is that of the Mission of the Church to the World. The inaugural lecture will be given by Dr. Murray, the Master of Selwyn College. The following courses of four lectures have been promised : First week—" The Political History of the Kingdom of Judah, from Hezekiah to the beginning of the Exile," by L. W. King, Esq., of King's College, Cambridge, and the British Museum; and " The Religions of the Roman Empire in the First Century," by the Rev. H. F. Stewart, St. John's College, Cambridge. Second week—" The Book of Jeremiah," by Dr. Kennett, Regius Professor of Hebrew at Cambridge ; and " St. Paul's Conception of an Universal Church," by the Rev. A. E. J. Rawlinson, of Keble College, Oxford. Third week- " The Deuteronomic Movement," by the Rev. D. C. Simpson, St. Edmund Hall, Oxford; and "Acts 13-28," by IL St. J. Thackeray, Esq., King's College, Cambridge. Single lectures have been promised by the Bishop of Ely, Professor Swete, Dr. Anderson Scott, Dr. Murray, Miss E. E. Constance Jones, and Mr. W. M. Calder. Hebrew and Greek Testament readings will be held throughout the three weeks. The total cost to students, including lecture tickets, will not exceed £2 a week.—We are,
39 Frances Road, Windsor.
