SPURGEON.--"_We can best show our appreciation of this able Body
of Divinity by mentioning that we have used it in our college
with much satisfaction both to tutor and students. We intend to
make it a class-book, and urge all young men who are anxious to
become good theologians to master it thoroughly. Of course we do
not endorse the chapter on baptism. To a few of the Doctor's
opinions in other parts we might object, but as a Hand-book of
Theology, in our judgment, it is like Goliath's sword--'there is
none like it.'_"
THE ATONEMENT. Edited by the Rev. W. H. Goold, D.D., Crown 8vo. Price
5s.
EXTRACT FROM LETTER BY THE AUTHOR TO THE EDITOR OF THIS
EDITION.--"_This work has been written with a view to meet the
rationalistic speculations of the present day as to the nature
of sin, the extent of human depravity and moral ability, the
nature of our connection with Adam, the nature and extent of the
Atonement, &c. &c. So much has been written that is positively
false, or fatally defective, by Maurice, Jowett, Bushnell, and
others, that it appeared high time that those who love the truth
should rouse themselves to do what they can to defend and exalt
it._"
BY THE REV. ISLAY BURNS, D.D.
