SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.
[Under this heading we noose such Books •f the weak as has. not bests maenad for mins in other forms.] The Epistle to the Galatians. By A. Lukyn Williams, B.D. "The Cambridge Greek Testament." (Cambridge University Press. 3s.)—This is a very careful and complete bit of work which the Biblical student will find useful. Mr. Williams adopts the "North Galatian" theory. The date of the Epistle he assigns to the interval between 2 Corinthians and Romans. Ho expresses with praiseworthy courage the opinion that the effort for Christian liberty which the Apostle made by writing this letter has, " though successful for a moment, to a great extent been a failure." Nine- tenths of Christendom has practically followed the leading of the Galatian Judaism. We do not know that the much-disputed passage—" A mediator is not a mediator of one "—has ever been better put than it is here. "A mediator does not belong to the
category of one' but God is essentially one in His nature and character. The idea of unity in word and deed is most
consonant with Him The verse thus serves to bring out the superiority of the Promise over the Law."
