PROPHETS, PRIESTS AND PUBLICANS. By J. P. Arendzen. (Sands and
Co. Os. net.)
Dn. ARENDZEN, a Roman Catholic defending the Faith against
Modern criticism, has written a delightful little book which will interest all who are perplexed concerning the prolonged battle between tradition and modernism. The author- is well informed and writes calmly, fairly and with fine critical insight. We specially commend his treatment of Isaiah's prophecy: "Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son." We have read many attempts to defend the traditional interpretation and we must say that we think this the strongest defence we have seen. Of course, Dr. Arendzen touches on matters on which conservative theologians profoundly disagree ; but his book is mainly concerned with foundations that are acknowledged by Geneva and Canterbury as well as by Rome. •
