N mastery treatise, the most profound, wide
reaching, and permanent.
1t is perfectly manifest to all competent observers

leads the way, with momentum irresistible There
is not question in Theology which is not destined
to up for new and thorough settlement in the
light Of this final development.

The reception of this work by the Theological
press of the country, has been significant. Equally

Theological press endorses the major premise of the
argument, and denies the minor. The other half en-

From the Univeysaiia Quarterly and General Re

We have the novel spectacle OF a man clinging
with mastery grasp to all tho fundamentals of Or
thodoxy, yet dealing 1t blow beneath
which il reels.
Ii would be difficult TO find within the limits Of a
hundred pages any treatise essay that can com
thodox doctrines. DR.. Beecher has struck upon the
right principle in his theory Of typical interpretation
in the fifth of Romans.
