GERMAN THEOLOGY Religious authorship, In Ger
many, appears to have been very active recently.
Among the more important contributions to exegetica
and poltmical literature, lately published, is ROhe'S
"1beOlogi,a l Ethcus, work Of ingenious and deep
ideas; Hoffmans third and last volume Schript-
beweis;" fourth edition of Tholuck's Exposition

on Zecharah and book Of Auberen, on Daniel and
the Apocalypse This latter work has OccasOned some
rev discussions these mysterious books OF the BIZ
Bile. The Cyclopedia, edited by Professor Herzog,
ard contributed to by large number of German d.
vines, is still being proceeded with, and when CON-
pleted, viii present noble specimen Of German m
dustry and learning. The German theological perodi-

DISCUSSION ON THE AToNEMEST The discussion
on the atonement is still continued by the religious
press and when completed, the matter will doubtless

commenced. Though not new, still the following may
oe viewed az an interesting summary of opinions held
by the Orthodox party concerning Christ: by
them it is held tina. the pardon Of sin is MT Of the
mere mercy Of Cod yet merely on the ground OF
mans repentance; but that this pardon is given on
the ground of the sacrifice and death Of Christ in our
stead and in our behalf The divine mercy and human
epeutance are not excluded from the work OF saliva
ton; they are necessary to it.; but the divine mercy
comes to Us through Chris sacrifice, and the repent
ant sinner believes in Christ and thus, and only thus
can he be saved Christ is thus the mediator through
whom God comes near to man, and man comes near
to God BY his sacrifcial death, guilt and condem'
nation are taken away from the believer; through
faith in him the sinner may be justified, though him
self unjust. The suferings and death OF Christ were
vicarious--endured in our stead
