This is the last published of the series
of brief commentaries by modern scholars,
edited by Principal A. E. Garvie. A
miiuoer 01 me volumes nave been noticed
in our columns. These short commentaries
represent the attitude of present day
scholars and preachers of good standing
toward Biblical criticism and its results.
They indicate the swinging back of the
pendulum from -the more advanced hypotheses
of Bible criticism, and are evangelical,
yet intelligent, informed and
modern.
Success should be the beginning and
not merely the end of effort.
