This handsome book of $40 pages belongs
to The International Theological Lii
brary" series. which is under the editor
ship of Professor CHARLES A. BBIGss, ID. d.,
OF New York, and Professor S. ID. +. SAL
MoND, d. d., of Aberdeen, and is designed
to cover the whole field of Christian
theology. each volume being CON-
plete in itself, and ye. part Of an
organic whole. The author Of this volume
in his preface describes the scope of the
work as an introduction 10 the literature of
the Old Testament and not an introduce
ton to the theology or to the history. or even
to the study of the same. His conception
included an account of the contents and
structure OF the several books, together
with such an indication of their general
character and aim as he could find room for
in the space at his disposal. We are not CON-
petent to pass an opinion upon his work
but arc impressed with the thoroughness
of the workmanship as it appears to us,
and the great amount of labor and research
which must have been expended in its
preparation. 1t should be very valuable
book for students of theology.
