A BOOK FOR THE PEOPLE,

REV. WASHINGTON GLADDEN,

of Columbus, Ohio; Author of "Applied Christianity,"

Lord's Prayer," etc. In one volume, 16mo, $1.25.

CONTENTS: A Look into the Hebrew Bible; What did Moses

write? Sources of the Pentateuch; The Earlier Hebrew Histories;

The Hebrew Prophecies; The Later Hebrew Histories; The Poet-

ical Books; The Earlier New Testament Writings; The Origin of

the Gospels; New Testament History and Prophecy; The Canon ;

How the Books were written; How much is the Bible worth?

The aim of this volume, says the Author, is to put into compact

and popular form, for the benefit of intelligent readers, the principal

facts upon which scholars are now generally agreed concerning the

literary history of the Bible. The work follows the conservative crit-

icism which has not been unwilling to look at the facts.

If some of the theologians and religious editors who are now so noisily discussing the Bible were to read,

mark, learn, and inwardly digest this little volume, they would not so often hurt the cause of the Bible by

making wild and indefensible statements about it. Dr. Gladden, who, it should be borne in mind, is not an

infidel or heretic, but an orthodox Congregational clergyman in good standing, shows that modern critical

scholarship has overthrown many of the traditional conceptions of the Bible; but he also brings out with

striking force the real power, beauty, and authority of that venerable book as a Divine revelation. His sole

aim is to tell the truth about the Bible, and he has a large enough faith in it to believe that the truth cannot

hurt it, but, on the contrary, will raise it higher in the estimation of Christians. . . Men like Dr. Gladden,

who present the results of their labors to the public in popular and readable form, are doing a valuable service

to the Christian Church. - New York Tribune.

Dr. Gladden has eminent qualifications for such a work. We may note first his gift for luminous exposi-

tion. There is never the slightest doubt as to his meaning. He has a singularly clear vision, never losing his

head in labyrinthine discussions. He looks at all questions with a sturdy common sense. His illustrations

are sometimes homely, but they are always apt. The book under consideration reveals this characteristic. It

is "for the people." One does not need to be a scholar in order to understand it. No one need refrain from

reading it for fear it may be too difficult. . . Dr. Gladden has rendered a service to the church. He shows

that the Bible can bear the most searching scrutiny; that one can be a candid scholar and a devout Christian;

and thus he removes the opportunity for the flings of unbelief and the sarcasms of infidelity. He shows that

the "letter killeth, but the spirit maketh alive." - Columbus Dispatch.

Emphatically a book for the people - for busy people who have not time nor, perhaps, ability to follow the

learned discussions of Biblical critics, but who want to know the facts and legitimate conclusions of the current

discussions about the Bible. Dr. Gladden gives us here the results rather than the process of scholarship, in a

plain, simple, straightforward manner. He answers questions, so far as they can be answered, which contin-

arning the sacred books. He is stanchly conservative as to the essentials of Biblical criti-

conclusion, and the tenacity with which he holds the essential unity, veracity, integrity,

nticity of the Word of God, make his book an aid to faith of a most valuable character. -

ecognize in his work the evidences of a true conservatism, together with an interest in the

cience. -
Watchman (Boston).
