The Publisher presents this volume to the Public in the
hope that much good may result. It contains the mature
thought of some of our ablest writers on an important
Bible theme. While Symposium may be a novel thing among
us, the Publisher would fain hope that an appreciative
public will commend this method of presenting a subject
from different angles of vision. It is believed that the
times are propitious for the Disciples to make themselves
more widely felt by their contributions to the religious
literature of the age. It is the ambition of the Publisher
to make this volume the first of a uniform Series; each to
be composed of Essays on the living issues in Christian
thought. The subjects for the different volumes will be
chosen so as to make the Series comprehend a wide range.
Should the plan be successful, the whole Series when
complete, will form a unique and valuable addition to the
libraries of wide-awake religious people. The Publisher
sincerely hopes that the reception of this book may
demonstrate a general desire on the part of the public
for books of like merit and method; and that he may be
able in this convenient form to send broadcast over the
land the richest thought of the ripest minds among us, and
be of service to the Master’s cause, and to his day and
generation.
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT
SYMPOSIUM ON THE HOLY SPIRIT.
This is an elegantly bound little book. The style is of
the highest order, all of the authors being first-class
writers. The subject is profound, and so is the treatment.
It has been handled in a masterly manner. The authors are
not agreed, but it is a book of investigation and not of
controversy. While the reader may not agree with some
of the writers, he will feel that everything is said in
a fair and manly way. The subject is viewed from every
stand-point, which makes the treatise valuable to those
searching for the truth. As the name indicates, this
little book truly presents a feast.—_C. M. Wilmeth._
Brethren A. B. Jones, G. W. Longan, J. Z. Taylor and
Thomas Munnell. These are among our most thoughtful
writers. They have done their work well, and we commend
the book to all who feel an interest (and all ought to) in
having and holding correct views on the subjects of the
influence of the Holy Spirit as our indwelling comforter.
The book concludes with a selection—The influence of the
Holy Spirit in Conversion and Sanctification—from the
writings of A. Campbell.—_Dr. W. H. Hopson._
A neat little volume, executed in faultless style. It
consists of several essays, original and reprint, from
leading thinkers of the Christian Church. It opens with
an article by Elder A. B. Jones, upon “Consciousness
and the Holy Spirit,” and this is followed by one by G.
W. Longan. There are essays by Thomas Munnell and other
writers, upon the same subject, taking a different view of
the same subject. But the most important in the volume is
an old essay of A. Campbell, on the Holy Spirit. To those
desiring the views of able men upon this question we would
commend the book.—_B. W. Johnson._
