SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.
[trader this heading we notice such Books of the week as have not been reserved for review in other forms.] The Biblical Elucidator : the Pauline Epistles. By the Rev. Charles Neil. (F. Griffiths. 10s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Neil rightly insists on the difficulty of the Epistles of St. Paul, and furnishes in this book what may well prove a convenient help for under- standing them. He does not state rival interpretations. This is necessary for the professional student, but is apt to confuse the ordinary reader. His plan has beeu to give on one page what he calls a "Structural Display " of the text. Every sentence is set forth with its clauses distinguished; on the opposite page we have an analysis and notes in which the sequence of thought is further explained and illustrated. Without binding ourselves to all Mr. Neil's views, we can unhesitatingly commend his method.
