Leader._
IV. =Budde—Religion of Israel to the Exile.= By KARL BUDDE, D.D.,
Professor of Theology in the University of Strassburg. Crown octavo.

“The chief merit of Professor Budde’s book is its condensation.

details. While the book will take its deserved place in the
estimation of scholars it is also a book for the general
reader.”—_The Outlook._

FRANZ CUMONT, Ph.D., LL.D., Conservator of the “Musée du Cinquantenaire,”

M. Cumont shows the influence which Oriental star-worship

Four volumes. Octavo. Each, net, $2.00

I.—=The Synoptic Gospels, together with a Chapter on the Text-Criticism
of the New Testament.= By George Lovell Gary, A.M., L.H.D., President of
the Meadville Theological School.
“We need hardly say that we find ourselves differing very
seriously and very often from the editor of this volume, but
we gladly recognize the thoughtfulness and intelligence with
which he has worked. The student may learn much from this
volume.”—_N. Y. Observer._
II.—=The Epistles of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, Thessalonians,
Galatians, Romans, and Philippians.= By James Drummond, M.A., LL.D.,

will prove of the highest value. It is attractive for the
general reader, while it is of special value to advanced
students.”—_The Outlook._
III.—=The Epistles to the Hebrews, Colossians, Ephesians, and Philemon,
The Pastoral Epistles, The Epistles of James, Peter, and Jude=, together
with a Sketch of the History of the Canon of the New Testament. By Orello
Cone, D.D., Professor of Biblical Theology in the Canton Theological
School.
“It is interesting to note the meaning often hitherto
unexplained. The author succeeds because his explanations
are reasonable and plausible. He is not bound to any rule of
dogma or sect, but takes a broad and understanding view of his
subject.”—_Church Review._
IV.—=The Johannine Literature and the Acts of the Apostles.= By Henry
P. Forbes, A.M., D.D., Professor of Biblical Literature in the Canton
Theological School.
“Dr. Forbes has laid the ministry under perpetual obligation
to him. Not only does he keep up to the high standard of the
three preceding volumes of the set, but he fully sustains the
purpose indicated by the editor-in-chief. The full set is one
that every student of the Bible will make large use of.”—_The
Universalist Leader._
