History of Christian Theology in the Apostolic Age. By Edward
Reuss. Translated by Annie Harwood. VoL IL (Hodder and Stoughton.)—As we reviewed the original, as well as the first volume of the translation of this work, some time since, we need not now do more than commend to the attention of our readers the second volume—an excellent transla- tion of an excellent work—which will be welcome to all those who know the first. To those who are disgusted as well as wearied with the drivelling superstitions which suppose dogmatic theology to consist in patristic traditions and medianal metaphysics, accepted without verifi- cation as of divine authority, it is a relief and a satisfaction to find thaf. there is still to be found among us a masculine dogmatic theology which is at once orthodox and rational, and which rests on the knowledge of the nineteenth century without breaking with the past.
