“The value of the work is enhanced to scholars by a body of ‘notes,’ so placed as not to distract the attention of the general reader; and a good index facilitates reference. One must regard such issues of the American press with profound satisfaction. “JOHN HALL, D.D., “_Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church_.” _From Bishop Littlejohn, of Long Island._ “Dr. Geikie has performed his task—the most difficult in biographical literature—with great ability. His pages evince abundant and accurate learning, and, what is of even more consequence, a simple and cordial faith in the Gospel narratives, which, while enabling him to profit by the best results of modern criticism, shields him from the temptation to tone down or dilute the supernatural and divine features of the character and ministry of Christ. “The work is noteworthy for certain special merits, when compared with any previous treatment of the same theme. Its style is fresh, animated and vigorous. Its arrangement of the subject-matter is such as to present the parts of that wonderful life of the Son of God in their due co-ordination and interdependence, thereby producing on the reader’s mind the impression of a continuous, organic, divinely-ordered whole from the beginning to the end. “Dr. Geikie’s ‘Life and Words of Christ’ cannot fail to win the approval and admiration of an intelligent Christian public. The more widely it shall circulate, the more it will be regarded as a most valuable addition to a branch of sacred literature which ought in every age to absorb the best fruits of sacred scholarship, and to command the highest gifts of human genius. “A.
