Christ in His Holy Land. By the Rev. Alexander A.
Boddy. (S.P.C.K.)—We have known Mr. Boddy for some time as an observant and intelligent traveller. He has now turned to an excellent use his gifts and abilities. This book contains "A Life of our Lord, written during and after a Journey through the Holy Land." He begins with a very picturesque illustration, drawn from the strange Persian sect of the "Bab." Some of the exiles who hold this faith may be found in Acre, and they recall vividly the early days of Christianity. Mr. Boddy goes on to illustrate the course of our Lord's life and its incidents from what he saw about him in Palestine. The result is a very vivid and instructive picture. Of course Mr. Boddy-'s aim is not to construct a complete narrative, in which the various difficulties of the harmonists are dealt with, but to give a broad outline with some vivid details taken from the life. His book will be found to be of great practical use.
