Problems in the New Testament. Critical Essays by W. Spicer

Wood, M.A. (Rivingtons.)—In this little volume Mr. Wood dis- cusses twenty-five passages of more or less difficulty. The " Rock on which the Church is built," " The Slave's Call " (" art thou called being a slave ? &c.," 1 Cor., vii. 21-22), " Baptism for the Dead," " The Child-Bearing," " Testament or Covenant," are among the subjects treated. We may commend the volume to biblical students, and express a hope that it may be followed up by others.
