The Theology of Schleiermacher. By George Cross, Professor of 
Christian Theology in the Newton Theological Institution. 
356 pages, 12mo, cloth; postpaid $1.65 
Professor Cross’s book attempts to introduce the English- 
speaking student to Schleiermacher himself. It consists prin- 
cipally of a condensed “ thought-translation” of his greatest work, 
The Christian Faith. The exposition is introduced by the interest- 
ing story, attractively told, of Schleiermacher’s life, with emphasis 
on his religious experience. This is accompanied by a luminous 
account of the changes in Protestantism that necessitated a re- 
construction of its doctrines. The work closes with a critical 
estimate of Schleiermacher’s contribution to the solution of 
present religious problems, which in the judgment of scholars 
stand as an extremely valuable portion of the book. Taken to- 
gether, the translation, the analysis, and the critical estimate 
reveal Schleiermacher as a pioneer in modern religious thought. 
The — World (London). This work is as timely as it is able. 
markable that, considering the enormous influence of Schleiermacher 
on a eer theo logy, the English-speaking world has hitherto had such 
meager opportunity of studying the man and his teaching.

From the translator’s preface: ‘It is conceded by eminent 
scholars who are familiar with the book that it stands quite 
alone in its orderly scientific presentation of theological material 
while it combines, in a unique manner, the evangelical interests 
and the scientific effort of the new theology, thus constituting 4 
decisive contribution to the religious world.” 
Homiletic Review. This book is good alike for the head and the heart. It 
is written with an intellectual power, a literary charm, and a religious 
warmth, which remind one on almost every page of Sabatier.
