"The execution of this (_Expositor's Bible_) series has been
excellent. Dean Chadwick's treatment of the Gospel of St. Mark is in
almost perfect proportion, happy in style, just and reasonable in
temper, and full of helpful and suggestive thinking. The Colossians
and Philemon, by Dr. Maclaren, finely illustrate those subtle,
spiritual gifts of intellect and imagination that have made him the
favourite teacher of so many earnest and devout readers. In the Book
of Genesis a much more difficult and thorny piece of work fell to
the lot of Dr. Marcus Dods. There are at the present moment peculiar
difficulties in the treatment of those early chapters of Bible
story. The minds of general readers are hesitating between the old
literal and somewhat secular interpretation of the narrative, and
the new, more scientific, but not always more ideal and spiritual
reading of the record. That a settlement of the problem is possible,
and indeed not far off, is the conviction of many who have most
thoroughly studied the course and meaning of current thought; and
they do not doubt that the result will be to restore to us, in the
prelude of the history of redemption, everything the heart of faith
needs and loves, perchance in a purer and nobler form. Dr. Dods has
a steady head, a practised hand, and a determined will. With
admirable address he has steered his way between the shoals and
rocks of preliminary questions, and has brought safely to port his
rich cargo of exposition, the produce of many an arduous voyage of
discovery and research."--_Rev. Prof. W. G. Elmslie, D.D._
