Biblical Discoveries in Egypt, Palestine, and Mesopotamia. By the Rev.
J. Politeyan, B.A. (Elliot Stock. 2s. Gd. net.) —The corroborations of Biblical history which have been found by learned excavators in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Palestine are truly astonishing. Mr. Politoyan has written 1. very interesting little book in which he calls attention to them. We think he detracts from the weight of his evidence by trying to make it prove too much. His theology is very old-fashioned, and he seeks to establish not so much the truth of Scripture as the truth of our grandfathers' view of it. He cannot let Genesis be an allegory, and he will have Abraham to be an historical person. There are, however, many people who will like to see the theological theory they remember, well and modestly defended, and every intelligent reader must be interested in our author's excursions into Egyptology.
