The philosophical literature has been
enriched by 'tPbiJOSOpIic deS URbetCtCS-
stem" (''The Philosophy of the I'm
knOwn''), by DR.. L. Van Hartmann,
Berlin; G. DUncker, s mo-, 67S pages.
Besides an introduction, the work is
divided into three parts 1, The phe-
nOmenOn of the Unknown in the
Body; 2, The Unknown in the Spirit ;
3, The Metaphysics in the Unknown,
The author attempts to solve the prob
lem of the universe. With a mastery
pen and logical acumen he develops his
theory; but whether his system is the
true one, we are not now prepared to
decide. The work is readable and in
teresting.

3, The doctrine of self-knOwledge
philosophy; 4, The doctrine of NOR

-Arbeitslehre-(B Biology. The author
aims to harmOnize the conflicting views
and elements of mankind upon the
common ground Of freedom. He does
not profess to have accomplished this
object, but regards his work only as a
contribution towards the accom- pIish-
ment, hoping that others VIII take it
up where he left OFF. As whole, it is
a very interesting work,
At r, Muhlmann's, ia Halle, are ap-
pearing, "BibeIstUnOese2 Bible Studies),
by Rev. DR.. w. =. Besser. Eleven l6
mo. volumes of this work have already
appeared. 1t is a popular exposition
Of the Holy Scriptures, designed for
the masses of the people. 1t is thor
oughly Evangelical in it's tone, and
gives the results of the modern exc
getical literature in plain and reada-
bic style It deserves to be circulated
the people.
The theological literature has been
greatly enriched by, "Bi6LiSche CO7acOTOg-

HaeDdke GG LehmkuhI. This is a
much more comprehensive Biblical
than the majority of those
ing only one lCord out of whole verse,
it gives the whole sentence, so that it
is far easier to find a passage of Scrip
ture by means of this than
others. Then, again, it gives
in alphabetical order a long list of texts
for casual and particular occasions,
thus saving the clergyman much time,
spent in hunting a text
for particular occasion. Altogether,
it is Yery valuable work for clergymen
and Sundy School teachers.

lars" (''The Book of Daniels, A new
with COmmentary'O by
DR.. Th. Kiefoth Schwerin: A. W.
Sandmeyer (Smo, jlS pages). This is
a thoroughly Evangelical work, con-
tanning a new translation of the Book
Of Daniels, with thorough and pro-
found exposition of the text. In my
opinion it is one of the best comment
aries ever written on the mysterious
book of Daniels.
The historical literature has been
enriched by, "Die POlitik der Pdpste
yOq1 GTegOT I bGz. Galf G7'egOT VZII'' (''The
Politics of the Popes from Gregory I
TO Gregory Why, by Prof. DR.. II. Bax-
man, of Boun; Elber6eld, r. l.. Fred
srichs: two 8mo. volumes, 36I & AL
pages. This is a charming historical
work. Whoever desires to makes him
self thoroughly acquainted with the
doings of the POpes, and the n1Od1bs
oDerG71dG of accomplishing their de-
signs, should study this work. 1t re-
pays the reader it's cost by the interest
and information it furnishes.
At the same publishers recently ap-
peared. eIThe Epistle to the Hebrews,
with a CommentU1y,''- by DR.. f. BIeek
8 mo-, 5I2 pages. The present Volume
has been abridged from DIR. Bleek's
large commentary on the Hebrews, by

Of Bleek, at which he IabOred from 1928
and 1910, has been sufficiently known
and appreciated by the scientific theol-
ogians to need here many words of
Suffice it to say that
The present work contains the cream of
the larger one. The standpoint is the
one. Still the work is re-
plete with new and valuable matter.
A thoroughly scientific, yet at the
same time thoroughly Evangelical
work, is DR.. J. II. Kurtz's "COmmen-
bary on the Letter to the Hebrews -
'hIittan +. Lucas, 8 mo-, 436 pages.
1t deserves to be studied by all Evan
gelical pastors.
The theological world of Germany is
on the "qui vive," because, in a short
time, there shall be published, in the
Latin and the English languages, a
Commentary on the Letter to the
together with the restored
original text of the letter. The restor-
alton of the true text was performed
by the celebrated DIR. J. H. r. Biesen-
thai, formerly of Berlin, now Of Leip-
zig. DIR. B. is one of the very best
Hebrew and Oriental scholars, and has
for years been laboring at this work.
The conclusions reached by his studies
and researches are that the Apostle
Paul is the author of the Epistle to the
and that it was written in
the dialect spoken in Palestine at the
time of Christ. By retranslation of
the EpistIe into that dialect, determin-
ing the exact meaning of the words,
&C., DIR. B. thinks he has been able to
restore the true text and throw a food
of light on that mysterious book. He
it will revolutionize the exegesis
of that Epistle. Judging from a per-
sOnal acquaintance with the doctor and
from what he has communicated to me,
[ think the theology world may ex-
pect much from his work.
At @. d. Beck's, NOrdlingen, appear
ed the first three installments of
Die -HeiLige SeIs7'Jt des Ne1gl I'eStG-
D1e11tS acknowledged U1lterSaCcht''
(''The Holy Scriptures of the New Tes-
lament investigated by Prof. DR.. j.
G. K. Won Holman, of Erlangen (three
8 mo. volumes, containing d II Cor,
Gal, / q II Thessol.,). This is a work
of great merit. The author investigates
the authenticity and credi bilIty OF each
New Testament book, and then pro-
ceeds to develop, with logical acumen,
the meaning of each section and chap
ter not in mere annotations to each
verse, nor yet in a kind of paraphrase,
but in logically connected disoOurses.
The plan of the work seems new and
original with the author, nor is it any
to the work, but rather en-
hances its value to educated readers
and students. 1t will contribute much
towards better understanding of the
New Testament Scriptures.
At the celebrated publishing house
of J. G.. Gotta, Munich, just now ap-
peared, 'tDie ReligiOSeas AJterthtGBleT der
Bi6eE" (The Religious Antiquities of
the Bible''), by Abber DIR. d. B. Won
Professor of Theology; 8
mo-, 700 pages. After a careful exam
ination of this work, we eunhesitatingly
pronounce it one of the most thorough,
reliable and instructive manuals of
Biblical antiquities we have ever seen,
The author is thoroughly conversant
with this department of sacred litera-
ture. The work deserves to be studied
by all students of theology.
