 Honorary Fellow of St Johni College^ Cambridge. Fellow of the British 

 Academy. 



Demy 8vo. pp. xxiv + 456. Price 12s. 6d. net 



The present volume deals with the antecedents, acts, and words of 

 John the Baptist, and the relations between John and Jesus up to the time 

 when Jesus came into Galilee "after John had been delivered up." 



"Dr Abbott's work always bears the mark of high distinction. He gives us much 

 in the way of instruction and stimulus which we scarcely expect to find in any other 



writer An investigation like this of Dr Abbott's is, apart from the value of its 



particular conclusions, a new revelation of the fascination which a minute study of the 

 Gospels can bring to the reader, a revelation, too, ot the rich possibilities which such 

 study bears. A careful reader of Dr Abbott's pages will receive a great enrichment of 

 knowledge ; but he will also gain what is still more valuable, an incentive to exact 

 study and something like a new equipment for the interpretation of Gospel history." —

 Nestorius Recently Awakened. II. The Tragedy of Nestorius' Life. 

 III. The Doctrine of Nestorius. IV. Nestorius' place in the History 

 of Christian Doctrine. 



"The recent discovery of Nestorius' Liber HeraciiJis has awakened a new interest in 

 a theologian not hitherto much regarded by modern historians, and for orthodox 

 churchmen condemned as a heretic who saw in Christ no more than an inspired man. 

 Dr Loofs, in his learned and well-reasoned study, sets out to show that this is not 

 a tenable theorv of the doctrine of Nestorius." — The Scotsman
