that we upon the eve Of theological discussion
the most comprehensive radical and portontous, the
world has seen. To this discussion this book
leads the way, with momentum irresistible. There
is not a question 10 Theology which is not destined
to up for a and thorough settlement in the
light Of this final development
All those who have Theological doubts and diff
cultes should examine the solution this work affords
Those who have no doubts but who wish to study
the history Of opinions in the past and to keep pace
with the developments Of opinion in the future will
grievously II they neglect TO make themselves ia
mlisr with this book. IL contains the seeds Of the
thinkings and dcbatings Of the next hundred yeaIs
The reception Of this work by the The logical
press Of the country, has been significant Equally
declinir to accept his conclusion, they do u op
posito and contradictory grounds. One half Of the
Theological press endorses the major premise of the
argument and denies the minor The other half en-
dorses tho minor, and denies the major And they
probably both right in their positive element and
wrong in their negative. the work has received vir
tual Endorsement Of the most powerful kind
