DR. STALKER'S WORKS.
In Crown 8vo, Large Type Edition, 3s. 6d.; Cheaper Edition, 1s. 6d.,
1. THE LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST.
'No work since "Ecce Homo" has at all approached this in succinct, clear-cut, and incisive criticism on Christ as He appeared to those who believed on Him.'—Literary World.
'A vivid, picturesque style is the one thing which never grows old or loses its charm. The notes have been carefully revised and brought up to date, the best literature which has appeared since its first issue being skilfully noted. This new edition should be got and placed beside the old. It is one of the few books of which we may afford to have two copies.'—Expository Times.
'Even with all our modern works on this exhaustless theme, from Neander to Farrar and Geikie, there is none which occupies the ground of Dr. Stalker's. . . . We question whether any one popular work so impressively and adequately represents Jesus to the mind.'—Christian.
Uniform with the above in Size and Price,
2. THE LIFE OF PAUL.
'Surpassingly excellent . . . Dr. Stalker gives a masterly miniature, and thousands will see more of Paul in it than in the life-sized portraits. . . . He has the gift of vivid writing; he sketches and colours with words; he does more, he vivifies persons and scenes by his inspiring sentences. Those who wish to pursue the subjects of study suggested by the noble career of Paul, will here find ample guidance for their more thorough research. We have not seen a handbook more completely to our mind.'—C. H. Spurgeon in Sword and Trowel.
'A gem of sacred biography.'—Christian Leader.
'We cannot speak too highly of the way in which our author has handled his material. . . . Dr. Stalker, as in his "Life of Christ," becomes thoroughly original in his treatment, and we have a feeling that what we are reading is not only new, but true.'—Ecclesiastical Gazette.
WORKS BEARING ON THE LIFE AND PERSON OF CHRIST, PUBLISHED BY T. & T. CLARK, 38 GEORGE STREET, EDINBURGH.

'No Bible student should fail to make this treatise his constant friend and companion.'—Bell's Weekly Messenger.
'The author's thoughts are sharply cut, and are like crystals in their clearness and power.'—British Quarterly Review.

'To the devout and earnest Christian the volume will be a treasure indeed.'—Wesleyan Times.
'There is in these lectures a tender sympathy, and a spiritual devoutness and simplicity, which gives to them a real charm.'—Literary World.
'We know no better modern book more suggestive and helpful.'—Freeman.
'It commands my warm sympathy and admiration.'—Canon Liddon.
'A thoroughly satisfactory help to teacher and scholar.'—British Messenger.

We offer Dr. Hastings our sincere congratulations on the publication of the first instalment of this great enterprise. . . . A work was urgently needed which should present the student with the approved results of modern inquiry, and which should also acquaint him with the methods by which theological problems are now approached by the most learned and devout of our theologians.'—Guardian.
We welcome with the utmost cordiality the first volume of Messrs. Clark's great enterprise, "A Dictionary of the Bible." That there was room and need for such a book is unquestionable. . . . We have here all that the student can desire, a work of remarkable fulness, well up to date, and yet at the same time conservative in its general tendency, almost faultlessly accurate, and produced by the publishers in a most excellent and convenient style. We can thoroughly recommend it to our readers as a book which should fully satisfy their anticipations. . . . This new Dictionary is one of the most important aids that have recently been furnished to a true understanding of Scripture, and, properly used, will brighten and enrich the pulpit work of every minister who possesses it. . . . We are greatly struck by the excellence of the short articles. They are better done than in any other work of the kind. We have compared several of them with their sources, and this shows at once the unpretentious labour that is behind them. . . . Dr. A. B. Davidson is a tower of strength, and he shows at his best in the articles on Angels, on Covenant (a masterpiece, full of illumination), and on Eschatology of the Old Testament. His contributions are the chief ornaments and treasure-stores of the Dictionary. . . . We are very conscious of having done most inadequate justice to this very valuable book. Perhaps, however, enough has been said to show our great sense of its worth. It is a book that one is sure to be turning to again and again with increased confidence and gratitude. It will be an evil omen for the Church if ministers do not come forward to make the best of the opportunity now presented them.'—Editor, British Weekly.
Will give widespread satisfaction. Every person consulting it may rely upon its trustworthiness. . . . Far away in advance of any other Bible Dictionary that has ever been published in real usefolness for preachers, Bible students, and teachers.'—Methodist Recorder.
This monumental work. It has made a great beginning, and promises to take rank as one of the most important biblical enterprises of the century.'—Christian World.
