The New Appreciation of the Bible: A Study of the Spiritual Outcome 
of Biblical Criticism 
By WILLARD CHAMBERLAIN SELLECK, Author of Zhe Spirttual Outlook 
424 pages, 12mo, cloth; net $1.50, postpaid $1.63 
11 a SELLECK is already widely known as a writer upon religious and biblical topics. 
His book The Spiritual Outlook has established his reputation for marked ability. 
The present work seeks to do three things: first, to state, briefly but clearly and accurately, 
the principal conclusions of modern learning regarding the Bible; second, to show the 
enhanced values, ethical and religious, which the Bible exhibits through the new views 
of its nature thus developed; and, third, to point out some of the practical ways in which 
it may be most helpfully used in consonance with such conclusions and such views. 
The book is not intended primarily for scholars, but is rather an attempt by a working 
pastor to popularize some of the results of scholarship. The author has had in mind the 
needs of ministers, teachers, young people’s classes and societies in the churches, parents, 
and thoughtful persons generally who really want to know the truth, but who want also 
a justly constructive interpretation and application of the truth. 
The spirit of the work is frank and fearless, yet reverent and catholic; above all it is 
earnest, sincere, and positive. The writer puts something strong and helpful in the place 
of that which is passing away. His message is inspirational as well as educational. 
The scope of the book may be seen from the chapter headings:
