KENT, C. F. _The Student's Old Testament._ 1904-1910.--I. _Narratives of the Beginnings of Hebrew History_, 1904; II. _Israel's Historical and Biographical Narratives_, 1905; III. _The Sermons, Epistles, and Apocalypses of Israel's Prophets_, 1910; IV. _Israel's Law and Legal Precedents_, 1907. (Two volumes on the Poetical Books will complete the series.) The sources of the Pentateuch and the Historical Books are separated, and where the narratives are parallel they are printed in parallel columns with headings indicating their origin. The analysis is also set out in tabular form, and maps and chronological charts are added. The oracles of the prophets are arranged, so far as possible, in chronological order, additions and interpolations being set in smaller type. The author is an experienced teacher and book-maker, and has a fine talent for exposition. CARPENTER, J. ESTLIN, and HARFORD-BATTERSBY, G. _The Hexateuch according to the Revised Version._ 2 vols. 1900.--The first volume (separately reprinted, 1902) contains an excellent history of criticism, and develops fully and very clearly the evidence for the prevailing theory concerning the sources and composition of the Hexateuch. Tabular appendices exhibit the linguistic evidence in a form which makes it available, as far as possible, to the reader who does not know Hebrew; they also give a synopsis of the laws and institutions, and an analysis and conspectus of the several codes. The second volume presents in the text of the Revised Version the analysis of the Pentateuch and Joshua in an extremely ingenious typographical scheme. The articles on the Books of the Old Testament, from Genesis to Judges inclusive, in the _Encyclopaedia Biblica_, by the author of the present volume, may be referred to for a fuller statement of the reasons for his views and a more detailed analysis. The article "Historical Literature" in the same Encyclopaedia gives a comprehensive survey of the Hebrew historiography from its beginnings down to the time of Josephus. The article on "Prophecy and Prophets" in Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible, by A. B. Davidson, though not dealing primarily with critical questions, may be strongly commended, and the article on "Psalms," by W. T. Davison, in the same volume, is good. An excellent article on "Proverbs" in the _Encyclopaedia Biblica_ should also be mentioned. INDEX Abomination, Dan. 8, 186 Acrostics, 229 f. Alexander and successors in Dan., 185 f.
