The Expository Times. Edited by James Hastings, D.D. (T. and
T. Clark. 7s. 6d.)—The good sense, sobriety, and open-mindedness which characterise the conduct of this periodical are worthy of the highest praise. But itis evident that a very critical point has bacn reached in textual and historical criticism. If Professors Cheyne and Schmiedel are right in their contentions, all that the world has hitherto understood by the religion of Jesus Christ has practically disappeared. The Gospels do not represent what He said; the Epistles were not written by His Disciples, or in virtue of His revelation. The thoughtful paragraphs on pp. 1-7 are worthy of very careful attention. The volume, to which we would gladly give more space were it possible, is full of interest and value throughout. It deserves a very wide support.
