A Manual of Theology. By Joseph Agar Beet, D.D. (Hodder

and Stoughton. 10s. 6d.)-Dr. Beet's volume puts much into a comparatively small compass. His position may be defined as that of the liberal orthodox. He will not accept the inerrancy of Scripture, of which, indeed, few champions are left. His view on Original Sin is of the traditional character. It takes for granted the descent of all men from Adam. We cannot follow his expositions, but we may say that they are characterised by lucidity and moderation.
