BIBLIOGRAPHY.--Autobiographical passages in M. Loisy's _Autour d'un
petit livre_ (Paris, 1903), pp. xv. xvi. 1, 2, 157, 218. A full
account of his literary activity and ecclesiastical troubles will be
found in Abbé Albert Houtin's _La Question biblique au XIX^e siècle_
(Paris, 2nd ed., 1902) and _La Question biblique au XX^e siècle_
(Paris, 1906), but the latter especially is largely unfair to the
conservatives and sadly lacking in religious feeling. The following
articles and booklets concerning M. Loisy and the questions raised by
him are specially remarkable. France: Père Durand, S.J., _Études
religieuses_ (Paris, Nov. 1901) frankly describes the condition of
ecclesiastical biblical studies; Monseigneur Mignot, archbishop of
Albi, _Lettres sur les études ecclésiastiques 1900-1901_ (collected
ed., Paris, 1908) and "Critique et tradition" in _Le Correspondant_
(Paris, 10th January 1904), the utterances of a finely trained
judgment; Mgr Le Camus, bishop of La Rochelle, _Fausse Exégèse,
mauvaise théologie_ (Paris, 1902), a timid, mostly rhetorical,
scholar's protest; Père Lagrange, a Dominican who has done much for
the spread of Old Testament criticism, _La Méthode historique, surtout
à propos de l'Ancien Testament_ (Paris, 1903) and _Éclaircissement_ to
same (ibid. 1903); P. Lagrange, Mgr P. Batiffol, P. Portalié, S.J.,
"Autour des fondements de la Foi" in the _Bulletin de litt. eccl.
Toulouse_ (Paris, December 1903, January 1904), very suggestive
papers; Professor Maurice Blondel's "Histoire et dogma," in _La
Quinzaine_ (Paris January 16, February 16, 1904), F. de Hugel's "Du
Christ éternel et des christologies successives" (ibid. June 1, 1904),
the Abbé J. Wehrle's "Le Christ et la conscience catholique" (ibid.
August 16, 1904) and F. de Hügel's "Correspondance" (ibid. Sept. 16,
1904) discuss the relations between faith and the affirmation of
phenomenal happenings; Paul Sabatier, "Les Derniers Ouvrages de l'Abbé
Loisy," in the _Revue chrétienne_ (Dôle, 1904) and Paul Desjardins'
_Catholicisme et critique_ (Paris, 1905), a Broad Church Protestant's
and a moralist agnostic's delicate appreciations; a revue of _Les
Évangiles synoptiques_ by the Abbé Mangenot, in _Revue du Clergé
français_ (Feb. 15, 1908) containing some interesting discriminations;
a revue by L. in the _Revue biblique_ (1908), pp. 608-620, a mixture
of unfair insinuation, powerful criticism and discriminating
admissions; and a paper by G. P. B. and Jacques Chevalier in the
_Annales de philosophie chrétienne_ (Paris, Jan. 1909) seeks to trace
and to refute certain philosophical presuppositions at work in the
book's treatment, especially of the Miracles, the Resurrection and the
Institution of the Church. Italy: "Lettres Romaines" in _Annales de
philosophie chrétienne_ (Paris, January-March 1904), an Italian
theologian's fearless defence of Loisy's main New Testament positions;
Rev. P.
