A Grammar of New Testament Greek. By James Hope Moulton.
Vol. I., Prolegomena. (T. and T. Clark. 8s. net.)—This is a second edition of a work which appeared about a year ago, and which was itself the successor of one which had long held an honoured place in Biblical literature. It now bears a changed title. It is no longer described as "based on Dr. W. F. Moulton's edition of Dr. Winer's Grammar." Dr. J. H. Moulton gives conclusive, reasons for the change. Practically the book as it stands now is. not based on Winer. The discovery of the Biblical fragments in the papyri, to mention one particular only, though doubtless the most important, has effected a revolution in the science of New Testament grammar. The preface to the present edition is one. of the most interesting documents of the kind that we have ever read. Its explanations and its acknowledgments are indeed good to read. In view of the language often used by persons whose dearest delight it is to depreciate some institution of which they ought to be proud, it is pleasant to find that Dr. Moulton, who, as he is at work elsewhere, is not speaking for himself, describes. Cambridge as "a home of exact science and sincere research."
