A Student's Library. Edited by H. Bisseker, M.A. (Charles H.
Kelly. Ss. 6d. net.)—" The purpose of A Student's Library is to place every reader in direct touch with the expert." This it is sought to do in nine essays, seven of which are supplemented by bibliographies. Mr. Wilfrid T. Moulton, for instance, writes on "The Study of the Bible." He tells us what the Bible is and is not meant to teach. He states very explicitly that Israel had a divine mission to teach the world about God ; at the same time he deals freely with the record of how this purpose was accomplished. The books which he recommends indicate the general position which he takes up. This may be described as that of the "Moderate Modernist." Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible may be taken as an exponent. Two other essays deal with related sub- jects, "The Study of Theology" and "The Study of Christian Foundations." The Classics, Masterpieces of Literature, History, Natural Science, Philosophy and Social Science, are also discussed•
