In the series of the " Cambridge Bible for Schools
and Colleges," we have The Epistles to the Colossians and to Philemon. By H. C. G. Moule, M.A. (Cambridge University Press.)—Mr. Moule acknow- ledges in liberal terms his general and special obligations to Bishop Lightfoot. His own scholarship, theological learning and insight, have, with such guidance, produced an edition that may be studied with much advantage. Mr. Moule compares with happy effect Pliny's letter to Sabinianus (ix. 21), where the subject closely resembles that of Paul writing to Philemon. The essay on "Slavery and the Attitude of Christianity towards It" should be noticed.
