The Expositor. Edited by the Rev. W. Robertson Nicoll, M.A.
Third Series, Vol. VI. (Hodder and Stoughton.)—We need hardly commend this periodical, so often praised in the columns of the Spectator, to the notice of our readers. We do not see that this volume falls behind its predecessors in interest and value. One remarkably interesting paper is that in which Mr. S. J. Curtiss discusses " The Standpoint of Modern Criticism," in an exposition of the views of Stade in his " (x'eschichte des Volkes Israel." Stade does not believe in any Egyptian bondage or Red Sea deliverance ; Israel, Esau, Joshua cease to be individual men ; Sarah, Hagar, Zilpah designate not women, but tribes, and so forth. Professors Milligan and Salmon discuss "The Christian Ministry," in connection with "The Teaching of the Apostles." Dr. Maclaren (of whom there is an excellent etched portrait) finishes his exposition of the Epistle to Philemon ; and there are other noteworthy papers.
