The Incarnation. By the Rev. H. V. S. Eck, M.A.
(Longinans and Co. 5s.)—This volume belongs to the "Oxford Library of Practical Theology," now appearing under the editorship of Messrs. Newbolt and Stone. It seems to be a sound and judicious statement of the doctrine. We do not see any express treatment of the " Kenotic" theories. Possibly the book will not be the less useful and edifying for the omission. There is no road of thought on which we sooner find ourselves face to face with an unsurmountable obstacle. Among the notes is one on the term Of OT oKOS. We are glad to see that Mr. Eck says that "to use the English equivalent 'Mother of God' popularly without due accompanying safeguards would, as things are, be to court mis- conception." To speak plainly, the phrase shocks really religious and orthodox people, and it would be well to avoid it, except in speaking ad eterum.
