A History of New Testament Times : the Time of
the Apostles. 2 vols. Translated from the German of Dr. A. Hausrath, by L. Huxley, B.A. (Williams and Norgate.) — This is a somewhat belated work published by the "Theological Translation Fund." Dr. Hausrath's "Time of Jesus" appeared in this Series fifteen years ago. This is a sequel. The writer's historical summaries are admirable. We may mention especially those which set forth the condition of the Jews under the Early Empire. But we dissent from the manner in which the New Testament documents are treated. It seems to us that a different standard of criticism is used with them from that which is applied to secular works. To illustrate this from these volumes would take us too long, and would involve discussions not suited to these columns. We com- mend the volumes to our readers with this reserve.
