VACATION TERM FOR BIBLICAL STUDY.
pro THE EDITOR OF TIIE "SPECTATOR.'] StR,—may we call the attention of your readers to the Tenth Vaniation Term for Biblical Study which will be held this year at Oxford from July 27th to August 17th P The object of the term is to give to students of the Bible who feel the need of more scientific and intelligent study a special opportunity of becoming acquainted with the results of modern Biblical scholarship and of receiving systematic instruction on academic lines.
The scheme is on a Christian basis, and lecturers are invited without respect to their denomination. The idea which has been chosen this year for illustration by the entire series of lectures is that of Christ in Israel, in the Gospel and in the Church. The inaugural lecture will be given by the Bishop of Oxford. The following courses of four lectures have been promised :—First week: "Development of Messianic Expectation to the Christian Era," by Rev. G. C. Joyce, Warden of St. Deiniol's, Rawarden ; and " The Gospel according to St. Matthew," by Rev. R. Brook, Merton College, Oxford. Second week "History and Social Con- ditions of Israel in the Ninth and Eighth Centuries," by Dr. Foakes- Jackson, Jesus College, Cambridge; and "The Transformation of the Messianic Hope by our Lord and His Apostles," by Professor Nairn°, King's College, London. Third week: "1 Isaiah and Micah," by Professor Peale, Victoria University, Manchester ; and "Personality," by Professor Jevons, of Durham University. Single lectures have been promised by Canon Scott Holland, Professor Macalister, Principal Selbie, and Professor Margolionth. Hebrew and Greek Testament readings will be held throughout the three weeks.
The total cost to students, including lecture tickets, will not exceed .22 a week.—We are, Sir, &c.,
29 Frances Road, Windsor.
