The Gospel according to S. John: the Revised Version. Edited

by Arthur Carr, M.A. (Cambridge University Press. Is. 6d. net.)-" The Revised Version," remarks Mr. Carr in his preface as general editor, "has to some extent superseded the need of annotation in the Gospels and Acts as far as the meaning of words and phrases is concerned." What could be a more emphatic pronouncement in its favour? Indeed, the editor, than whom it would not be easy to find a more competent judge, defines one object of the volume to be "drawing the attention of young readers to the importance of the chief changes." Other notes of a more theological kind are added, and a valuable contribution to Biblical study is the result.
