The Incarnate Purpose: Essays on the Spiritual Unity of Life
Percival, G. H.
Christianity; Spiritual life
"Prof. Weinel may be described as the Dean Farrar of Germany; the work
is quite equal to Dean Farrar's work on the same subject. In some respects it
is better."—Daily News.
Vols. XIX. and XX.
THE EXPANSION OF CHRISTIANITY IN THE FIRST
THREE CENTURIES. By Adolf Harnack, Ordinary Professor
of Church History in the University, and Fellow of the
Royal Academy of the Sciences, Berlin. Translated and edited by
James Moffatt, B.D., D.D., St Andrews. Vol. I. being out of
print. Second Edition, entirely re-written and very much added
to, with maps, in active preparation.
"It is bare justice to say that in the present monograph, the outcome of his
preliminary studies in the Berlin Academy's transactions for 1901, Harnack has
once more brilliantly shown his power of combining verve and learning, mastery
of salient detail, and an outlook upon the broad movements of the period in
question. The 'Ausbreitung' forms a sequel and supplement to works like his
own 'Wesen' and Weiszäcker's 'Apostolic Age.' It is a diagnosis rather than
a story, yet an analysis in which eloquent facts lose little or nothing of their
eloquence."—Hibbert Journal.
Vol. XVIII.
CHRISTIAN LIFE IN THE PRIMITIVE CHURCH. By
Ernst von Dobschütz, D.D., Professor of New Testament Theology
in the University of Strassburg. Translated by Rev. G. Bremner,
and edited by the Rev. W. D. Morrison, LL.D.
"It is only in the very best English work that we meet with the scientific
thoroughness and all-round competency of which this volume is a good specimen;
while such splendid historical veracity and outspokenness would hardly
be possible in the present or would-be holder of an English theological chair."—Dr
Rashdall in The Speaker.
"Some may think that the author's finding is too favourable to the early
churches; but, at any rate, there is no volume in which material for forming a
judgment is so fully collected or so attractively presented."—British Weekly.
Vol. XVI.
THE RELIGIONS OF AUTHORITY AND THE RELIGION
OF THE SPIRIT. By the late Auguste Sabatier,
Professor of the University of Paris, Dean of the Protestant Theological
Faculty. With a Memoir of the Author by Jean Réville,
Professor in the Protestant Theological Faculty of the University
of Paris, and a Note by Madame Sabatier.
"Without any exaggeration, this is to be described as a great book, the
finest legacy of the author to the Protestant Church of France and to the theological
thought of the age. Written in the logical and lucid style which is
characteristic of the best French theology, and excellently translated, it is a
work which any thoughtful person, whether a professional student or not,
might read without difficulty."—Glasgow Herald.
