Part 13

With a Treatise on the Origin of the Readership and other Lower Orders.

By Professor ADOLF HARNACK.

Translated by LEONARD A. WHEATLEY.

With an Introductory Essay on the Organization of the Early Church and the Evolution of the Reader.

By the Rev. JOHN OWEN, Author of 'Evenings with the Skeptics.'

'Dr. Adolf Harnack is at the present time undoubtedly the leading liberal authority in Germany on matters connected with early Christian history.'--The Times.

'Those who are interested in early Church history know how to prize anything from the pen of Prof. Harnack. They will not be disappointed with the present paper, in which, with his accustomed learning and acute criticism, he annotates and comments upon the fragments of primitive church law which partly form the basis of the Apostolic Canons.'--British Weekly.

'The wide circulation of this volume would be of the happiest augury for a more scientific and worthy conception of the organization of the primitive Church.'--Dr. MARCUS DODS in The Bookman.

CHRISTIANITY AND HISTORY.

By ADOLF HARNACK.

Translated, with the Author's sanction, by THOMAS BAILEY SAUNDERS, with an Introductory Note.

'It is highly interesting and full of thought. The short introductory note with which Mr. Saunders prefaces it is valuable for its information and excellent in its tone.'--Athenæum.

'A singularly able exposition and defence of Christianity, as seen in the newer light, by one of the most learned and acute "evangelical" critics of Germany. The essay is a masterly one.'--Glasgow Herald.

' ... We hope the lecture will be widely read.'--Primitive Methodist Quarterly Review.

'The lecture itself is weighty in its every word, and should be read and re-read by those desiring to have in a nutshell the central positions of modern Christianity.'--Christian World.

SKETCH OF THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH.

By J. WELLHAUSEN, PROFESSOR AT MARBURG.

'This work is now issued for the third time as an independent treatise. It admirably epitomizes the subject, and exhibits on almost every page evidences of Professor Wellhausen's profound study.'--Publishers' Circular.

'We would only say that those who differ from his critical views will yet do well to study them, and to read this history in which he applies them. Its separate publication, in a handy form and at a moderate price, makes it generally accessible.'--North British Daily Mail.

'The publication in a separate form of Professor Wellhausen's article in the "Encyclopædia Britannica" on "Israel" will be very warmly welcomed by many readers.'--Manchester Guardian.

'We are very glad to welcome an edition of Professor Wellhausen's "Sketch of the History of Israel and Judah" in a convenient and handy form. This is the first time it has appeared in a separate form. It is already known to students; it ought now to become popular. It is based on the learned author's studies in Hebrew literature and history, and, though not controversial in form, it differs totally from orthodox presentations of the subject.'--Westminster Review.

'A sketch which has created such widespread and profound interest as this could not be kept in the pages of a voluminous encyclopædia. Wellhausen's words necessarily have exceptional importance, even in the esteem of those who differ from him toto coelo.'--Baptist Magazine.

'The profound scholarship of the author does not elevate his writing above the interest of the general reader, and a vivid idea of the involved Jewish history is obtainable from this volume.'--Christian Advocate.
