FAITH ITS NATURE AND ITS WORK.
Faith : its Nature and its Work. By Handley C. G. Menlo, D.D., Bishop of Durham. (Cassell and Co. 8s. 6d. net.)—This is a book about faith written for those who already have it, and touching only superficially the problems of the day. It is an earnest exposition of the Evangelical creed, modified perhaps unconsciously by the spirit of the time. The author shrinks a little from the precise wording of the old definitions of dogma, while he insists upon their essential truth. The Old Testament is still to him part and parcel of Christianity. "Christ laid His hand in authentication upon the Old Testament," and Genesis is to the Bible what "the root is to the tree or the stem is to the branches," and ho still finds in the thought conveyed to him by the word "vicarious" the peace which illumined the soul of St. Augustine.
