Word - Studies in. the New Testament. By Marvin R. Vincent, D.D.
(Nisbet and Co.)—This second volume of his work Pro- fessor Vincent devotes to the writings of St. John. Naturally he prefaces it with an introduction, of which the main contention is that the books commonly attributed to the Apostle are really his, and that the theory which—founded chiefly on supposed internal evidence—attributes the Revelation to another John is unfounded. The rest of the volume is given to a very careful study of each word and incident as it occurs. The work supplies, therefore, it will be seen, the materials for a commentary rather than the com- mentary itself; but it is not the less valuable for that. We can- not do better than begin by exactly understanding what it is with which we have to deal ; and towards this end Professor Vincent gives us very valuable help.
