THEOLOGICAL TRANSLATION LIBRARY-Continued. 



thought of this country than Wernle's Beginnings of Christianity. It is well 

 written and well translated ; it is earnest, clear, and persuasive, and above all 

 it is well adapted to catch the large class of thinking men who are at present 

 seeking some non-miraculous explanation of Christianity." 



"This translation of Prof Wernle's lectures deserves a very hearty wel- 

 come in England. The style is alive and vigorous, the thought suggestive ; 

 the whole narrative is admirably clear and simple, popular in the best sense of 

 the term. ... It may be accepted as a companion volume to Harnack's What 

 is Christianity ? as an announcement of a liberal position of slightly differing 

 tendency. It is quite easy and pleasant reading for the ordinary layman who 

 may be desirous of knowing the present position of the more advanced schools, 

 and how much of the traditional theology these are prepared to retain. One 

 could wish that a few more English theologians would attempt a similar 

 apologia for the edification of the perplexed lay mind.'' Daily News. 



" No English book covers the same ground, or is conceived with the same 

 breadth and sanity ; in few works in any language are learning and insight 

 so happily combined." Edinburgh Review. 



"The translation is well done, and the book is full of interest."

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 Reville, 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 theo- 

 logical 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. 



FUTURE VOLUMES. 



Arrangements have been made for including the following 

 works in the Library, and Translations of them are in the Press: 



CHRISTIAN LIFE IN THE APOSTOLIC AGE. By 



Ernst von Dobschiitz, Professor Extraordinary of the New 

 Testament in Jena. 



Prof. Vernon Bartlet, in the Hibbert Journal, says : " This is an oppor- 

 tune book. ... It is singularly free from one-sidedness (e.g., any overdoing 

 of the ' enthusiastic ' side of the picture), and from straining after novel effects, 

 won by running an idea to extremes. Its author has an attentive eye for 

 most, if not all, of the varied sides and interests of the first generations of 

 Christians, because he has a heart large and deep enough to sympathise with 

 all genuine religion. Nil Christiani a se alienum putat." 



"This is a singularly good, complete, and well-thought-out account of the 

 moral state of the Christian communities in the apostolic and post-apostolic 

 age down to Ignatius and Hermas." -Jour, of l^heolog. Studies. 



"As a whole the volume may be said to represent a sober, comprehensive 

 account of the ethical situation throughout the course of primitive Christianity, 

 from 30 A. D. to I30A.D." Expository Times.
