The Expositor. Vol. X. (Hodder and'Stoughton.)—This volume is not less
interesting than its predecessors, as may be seen from an indication of some of its contents. Professor Bruce continues the series of his studies on the Epistle to the Hebrews, and Professor Cheyne his " Studies in Practical Exegesis," in which he deals with five Psalms. Principal David Brown argues against the Neronian date of the Apocalypse, and in another paper dis- cusses the purpose of the book, examining and rejecting the " tm- predictive " theory. We await with more curiosity than hope the attempt which he will make in due course to support the pre- dictive scheme. New Testament exegesis has been discredited by previous efforts of this kind. The opening portion of St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians is made the subject of an interesting examination in two essays by the Rev. F. Benda.. There is a very ably written paper on Judas Iscariot, in which the theory of the man's ambition, disappointed by the unworldly renunciation of Christ, is maintained. We must not omit to mention two con- tributions by the late W. H. Simcox (" The Prodigal and his Brother," and a review of Dr. Hatch's " Essays in Biblical Greek "), and a brief obituary notice of that distinguished scholar from the pen of the editor. Another personal notice is that of Professor Marcus Dods by Professor H. Drummond. An admirable portrait of Dr. Dods forms the frontispiece to the volume.
