REGNUM DEI. THE BAMPTON LECTURES OF 1901. By A. ROBERTSON, D.D.,
Principal of King’s College, London. _Demy 8vo. 12s. 6d. net._
This book is an endeavour to ascertain the meaning of the
‘Kingdom of God’ in its original prominence in the teaching
of Christ. It reviews historically the main interpretations
of this central idea in the successive phases of Christian
tradition and life. Special attention is given to the sense in
which St. Augustine identified the Church with the Kingdom of
God. The later lectures follow out the alternative ideas of the
Church, and of its relation to civil society which the Middle
Ages and more recent types of Christian thought have founded
upon alternative conceptions of the Kingdom of God.

methods of historical criticism. The text of the Bible has
been studied in the light thrown upon it by the best modern
commentators; but the reasons for the conclusions stated
are not left to be sought for in the commentaries, but are
discussed in the course of the narrative. Much attention has
been devoted to tracing the progress of religion amongst the
Hebrews, and the book, which is furnished with maps, is further
adapted to the needs of theological students by the addition of
geographical notes, tables, and a full index.

Fiction
THE HISTORY OF SIR RICHARD CALMADY: A Romance. By LUCAS MALET, Author of
‘The Wages of Sin.’ _Crown 8vo. 6s._
This is the first long and elaborate book by Lucas Malet since
‘The Wages of Sin.’ It is a romance on realistic lines, and
will certainly be one of the most important novels of the last
ten years.
This novel, the scene of which is laid in the moorland
country of the northern part of Hampshire, in London, and in
Naples, opens in the year of grace 1842. The action covers a
period of about three and thirty years; and deals with the
experiences and adventures of an English country gentleman of
an essentially normal type of character, subjected—owing to
somewhat distressing antecedent circumstances—to very abnormal
conditions of life. The book is frankly a romance; but it is
also frankly a realistic and modern one.
