FROM PRESS NOTICES OF VOLUME I.

"Dr. Bruce's commentary on the Synoptics is a notable piece of work. It is cheering and refreshing to find these books, with which our inner life is so closely bound up, treated frankly and honestly, as well as adequately for English readers, and withal in so believing and reverent a spirit that the treatment need not repel the most orthodox.... All is set forth with great frankness and admirable common sense, and often in racy language, not without an occasional Scottish flavour."—Athenæum.

"The first thing that strikes one when he takes up the volume on the Gospels is the uncommon handsomeness of the book. It is a joy to handle it and look into its pages. It is the very book to lure a student into reading. The form is so superb, the paper so choice and so light, the margins so delightfully broad, the type so clear and so tasteful.... The two scholars to whom this volume has been committed are the very men for the work. Each is a master of his subject, and each has gone into his task con amore.... A work worthy of the most cordial appreciation."—Critical Review.

Principal of Mansfield College, Oxford. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d.

CATHOLICISM—ROMAN AND ANGLICAN.

"Dr. Fairbairn's able and striking volume.... The treatment is throughout so thoughtful and free from narrow polemical bias."—Times.

"The book is certainly one every theologian must welcome—high-minded in tone, broad in its outlook, penetrating in its vision, and full of luminous apercus on the history of thought and of events."—Literature.

Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.

RELIGION IN HISTORY AND IN MODERN LIFE.

Together with an Essay on the Church and the Working Classes.

"In its new dress, 'Religion in History' is a timely and weighty contribution to a subject with which theologians but too seldom venture to grapple."—Scotsman.

"It is one of the best pieces of work which even Principal Fairbairn has ever done."—Aberdeen Free Press.

8vo, cloth, 12s.

THE PLACE OF CHRIST IN MODERN THEOLOGY.

"His work is, without doubt, one of the most valuable and comprehensive contributions to theology that has been made during this generation."—The Spectator.

"A more vivid summary of church history has never been given. With its swift characterisation of schools and politics, with its subtle tracings of the development of various tendencies through the influence of their invironment, of reaction, and of polemic; with its contrasts of different systems, philosophies, and races; with its portraits of men; with its sense of progress and revolt—this part of Dr. Fairbairn's book is no mere annal, but drama, vivid and full of motion, representative of the volume and sweep of Christianity through the centuries."—The Speaker.

WAS CHRIST BORN AT BETHLEHEM?

A Study in the Credibility of St. Luke.

"The work is characterised by great earnestness as well as ability, while the learning which it displays is such as may be expected from one who has long made the topics discussed matter of special study, for the pursuit of which he has also had special opportunities."—Scotsman.

"There is much interesting matter on allied topics in this learned and informing work, which will sustain Professor Ramsay's reputation as an accomplished and courageous scholar."—Christian World.
