Vol. I. BABEL AND BIBLE. By Dr. Friedrich Delitzsch, 

 Professor of Assyriology in the University of Berlin. Authorised 

 Translation. Edited, with an Introduction, by Rev. C. H. 

 W. Johns. Crown 8vo, with 77 illustrations, cloth. $s. 



These are the two famous Lectures which were delivered before the 

 Deutsche Orient-Gesellschaft in the presence of the German Emperor, and 

 again before the Emperor, Empress, and the Court, and which gave rise to 

 the Babel- Bible controversy. They set forth freshly and temperately the 

 close relation between the results of cuneiform studies and the more 

 familiar facts of the Old Testament, and clearly state the conclusions of 

 European scholarship as to the compilation of the Pentateuch from many 

 different sources, and as to its dependence on Babylonian myths for large 

 portions of its primeval history. 



" This interestingly illustrated and well- made version of the Lectures 

 should satisfy both scholars and general readers, though no doubt scholars 

 will know best how to appreciate the high value of its arguments." Scotsman. 



" It is written in an interesting and arresting style, and gives the best 

 account we have seen in short compass of these most important discoveries.'' 

 The Weekly Leader. 



" It is long since any book on Biblical Archaeology could claim to be more 

 deeply interesting to inquiring minds than this volume must be admitted to 

 be by any thoughtful reader. . . . We believe that most readers will be 

 delighted with the book as a description, romantic in its realism, of actual 

 discoveries, and their bearing on the accuracy of the Old Testament state- 

 ments. " Christian Commonwealth. 



Vol. II. THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF CHRIST: An 

 Historical and Critical Essay. By Paul Lobstein, Pro- 

 fessor of Dogmatics in the University of Strassburg. Translated 

 by Victor Leuliette, A.K.C., B.-es-L., Paris. Edited, with an 

 Introduction, by W. D. Morrison, LL.D. Crown 8vo. 35". 



" It should be added that Lobstein falls behind no one of those who have 

 refined the tone of modern controversy, that his attitude to those whose views 

 he opposes is considerate, his own purpose constructive for faith, and his tone 

 impressively reverent. Mr Leuliette's translation is in admirably clear and 

 good English. " Hibbert Journal. 



" Professor Lobstein handles his theme with a thoroughly reverent spirit, 

 and the book may be recommended to all who are in doubt as to this par- 

 ticular dogma." Scotsman. 



" No one who reads this most scholarly and convincing volume will doubt 

 the sincerity of the Professor's endeavour and aim ; and most readers will 

 gratefully own the notable success he has achieved." -St Andrew.
