ANCIENT AND MODERN CHRISTIANITY— LATIN HYMNS 



Paganism and Christianity) in Egyipi. By Philip David Scott-Moncrieff, 

 M.A. Cantab. 



Crown 8vo. pp. x + 226. With a frontispiece. Price 6s. net 



This little work was produced by a scholar whose sudden death in 

 February 191 1, before he had completed his twenty-ninth year, came as 

 a painful surprise to his many friends. He approached his subject from 

 the Egyptian point of view, he had a first-hand knowledge of the ancient 

 Egyptian religion, and as an archaeologist he was able to form his own 

 estimate of the bearing of the archaeological upon the purely literary 

 evidence, and in several cases to use his data in a novel way. 



After a sketch of the condition of the old Egyptian religion at the 

 close of the Ptolemaic era, the beginnings of Christianity in Egypt are 

 discussed, and by fresh evidence from the papyri and the early Christian 

 tombs fresh light is thrown upon an obscure chapter of Church history. 



"In the 200 pages of this small book," says T/'f iSia/xwrtw, "there will be 

 found more fresh matter than in many a bulky volume ; it will be received 

 as a valuable contribution to the study of the beginnings of Christianity in 

 the land of the Pharaohs." 



The Interregnum. Twelve essays on religious doul>t. By R. A. P. Hill, 

 B.J., M.D. 



Crown Svo. pp. xv+149. Price 31. 6J. net 



The title of the book indicates "that stage in a man's mental 

 development when the old beliefs and sanctions of childhood are lost 

 and he has not yet had time to form new views of his own," and the 

 essays, written from the point of view of a man in such a condition, 

 endeavour to show first that it is a natural, right and reasonable thing for 

 a man who is striving to know the good, to sympathise with Christians 

 as a Christian during the interregnum, even though the balance of 

 evidence may seem to liim to be against Christianity ; and secondly that 

 rival systems have their difficulties and objections no less than Christianity, 

 and that the strength and weakness of materialistic theories can only be 

 realised by minds that are truly open and thought that is truly free. 

 Further, the author shows that there is reasonable ground for thinking that 

 Christianity is true from the purely speculative standpoint.
