Glimpses of God through His Word: a Handbook to the

Theology of the Bible. (William Poole.)—This is one of the many bcoks which, professing to explain and magnify tho popular theology, might prove keen weapons in the hands of its adversaries. In consecutive pages the writer, who is either ignorant of the Greek Testament or persistently rejects critical authority, quotes from the Authorised Version two texts (1 Tim., iii., 18, and Acts xx., 28), with which no candid defender of the truth they are supposed to uphold would ply an opponent. No reliance can be placed on such a crude and unscholarly book as a guide to the theology of the Bible.
