“_Another of the many useful books on theological and Scriptural
subjects which have been written by the Rev. John Henry Blunt. The
present is entitled ‘A Key to Christian Doctrine and Practice, founded
on the Church Catechism,’ and will take its place as an elementary
text-book upon the Creed in our schools and colleges. The Church
Catechism is clearly and fully explained by the author in this ‘Key’.
Numerous references, Scriptural and otherwise, are scattered about the
book._”――PUBLIC OPINION.
=A KEY TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHURCH HISTORY.= (Ancient.) Edited by
JOHN HENRY BLUNT, M.A. Small 8vo. 2s. 6d.
“_It offers a short and condensed account of the origin, growth, and
condition of the Church in all parts of the world, from A.D. 1 down
to the end of the fifteenth century. Mr. Blunt’s first object has been
conciseness, and this has been admirably carried out, and to students
of Church history this feature will readily recommend itself. As an
elementary work ‘A Key’ will be specially valuable, inasmuch as it
points out certain definite lines of thought, by which those who
enjoy the opportunity may be guided in reading the statements of more
elaborate histories. At the same time it is but fair to Mr. Blunt to
remark that, for general readers, the little volume contains everything
that could be consistently expected in a volume of its character.
There are many notes, theological, scriptural, and historical, and
the ‘get up’ of the book is specially commendable. As a text-book for
the higher forms of schools the work will be acceptable to numerous
teachers._”――PUBLIC OPINION.
“_It contains some concise notes on Church History, compressed into
a small compass, and we think it is likely to be useful as a book of
reference._”――JOHN BULL.
“_A very terse and reliable collection of the main facts and incidents
connected with Church History._”――ROCK.
“_It will be excellent, either for school or home use, either as a
reading or as a reference book, on all the main facts and names and
controversies of the first fifteen centuries. It is both well arranged
and well written._”――LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
