The Bible and the Church,. By Sir Robert Anderson. (Hodder

and Stoughton. 5s.)—Sir Robert Anderson leaves the critics for a while, and directs his attack against Rome and Anglican Romanisers. With much that he writes we agree. We wish he could be persuaded that the believing critics—that there are unbelieving critics we frankly acknowledge—are his best allies. The view which the Pope and Sir Robert Anderson take of the Bible is really the same, as far as regards its essential character. This is the most important thing, and it is here that Christendom will ultimately find its dividing line.
