The Jesus of Our Fathers. By John W. Good, Ph.D.
(R.T.S. 25s. net.) .
The author of this massive work is a professor in what appears to be an American Higher College. But it might have been written two, or even three, hundred years ago. For the writer, the whole rational and critical movement is non-existent : he is, in a sense, " mighty in the Scriptures," but he has read them with " a veil upon his face." America is fertile in theological and other eccentricities. But that an English religious society should father the book is surprising. Dr. Good addresses himself to " that great army of men and women of true piety who walk in the old ways." No one will think without respect of such persons. But this book will not make their way easier ; and to the younger generation, should they read it—which is improbable—it can only do harm.
