We would especially direct attention to chap. 8, "The Incarnation in the Epistles," as a very lucid state- ment of an important question. Here we clearly see progress. If the Epistle of James was the earliest (say, 51 A.D.), what a development took place before the Pastorals were written ! Canon Streatfeild is right, we think, in insisting that the Virgin Birth is asserted so plainly in the First and Third Gospels that the denial of it necessitates a most dangerous dislocation of the whole evidence. Our author was not called upon to account for the difference in the two Christ portraits, the Synoptists' and the Johannine ; but we should like to have seen something more about the kenotic theory. Much of the language of popular theology practically implies a denial of the Human Nature. On the whole, this little volume may be safely commended as containing a very able treatment of its subject.
