Judges By Dr. GEORGE FOOT MOORE, D.D. Crown 8vo. Net, $3.00 "Professor Moore has more than sustained his scholarly reputation in this work, which gives us for the first time in English a commentary on Judges not excelled, if indeed equalled, in any language of the world."-Professor L. W. BATTEN, of P. E. Divinity School, Philadelphia. “Although a critical commentary, this work has its practical uses, and by its divisions, headlines, etc., it is admirably adapted to the wants of all thoughtful students of the Scriptures. Indeed, with the other books of the series, it is sure to find its way into the hands of pastors and scholarly laymen."-Portland Zion's Herald. "Like its predecessors, this volume will be warmly welcomed—whilst to those whose means of securing up-to-date information on the subject of which it treats are limited, it is simply invaluable.”—Edinburgh Scotsman. The Books of Samuel By Rev. HENRY PRESERVED SMITH, D.D. Professor of Biblical History and Interpretation in Amherst College Crown 8vo. Net, $3.00 "Professor Smith's Commentary will for some time be the standard work on Samuel, and we heartily congratulate him on scholarly work so faithfully accomplished."-The Athenæum. "The literary quality of the book deserves mention. We do not usually go to commentaries for models of English style. But this book has a distinct, though unobtrusive, literary flavor. It is delightful reading. The translation is always felicitous, and often renders further comment needless."-The Evangelist. "The author exhibits precisely that scholarly attitude which will commend his work to the widest audience."-The Churchman. "The commentary is the most complete and minute hitherto published by an English-speaking scholar."-Literature, The Book of Psalms By CHARLES AUGUSTUS BRIGGS, D.D., D.Litt. Professor of Theological Encyclopædia and Symbolics, Union Theological Seminary, New York and EMILIE GRACE BRIGGS, B.D. 2 volumes. Crown 8vo. Price, $3.00 net each "Christian scholarship seems here to have reached the highest level yet attained in study of the book which in religious importance stands next to the Gospels. His work upon it is not likely to be excelled in learning, both massive and minute, by any volume of the International Series, to which it belongs."-The Outlook. "We have in this work what we should expect, extreme thoroughness, scholarly precision and depth of insight."-The Churchman. "Dr. Briggs writes after forty years of close study of his subject, and possesses a wealth of information which is positively astounding."—Episcopal Recorder. "It is scarcely too much to say that we have here in compact form the best available commentary upon the first book of the Psalter. It is not simply grammatical and lexical, but it embodies the best results of the author's study of Biblical theology. These serve to bring out doubly the significance and import of these hymns of worship of ancient Israel.”—The Westminster. "It is a marvel of minute scholarship, a monument to the patient painstaking assiduity and ripe scholarship of the author."-Rev. LYMAN ABBOTT, D.D. Proverbs By the Rev. CRAWFORD H. TOY, D.D., LL.D. Crown 8vo. Net, $3.00 "Professor Toy's commentary on Proverbs maintains the highest standard of the International Critical Commentaries. We can give no higher praise. Proverbs presents comparatively few problems in criticism, but offers large opportunities to the expositor and exegete. Professor Toy's work is thorough and complete."-The Congregationalist. "A first-class, up-to-date, critical and exegetical commentary on the Book of Proverbs in the English language was one of the crying needs of Biblical scholarship. Accordingly, we may not be yielding to the latest addition to the International Critical Series the tribute it deserves, when we say that it at once takes the first place in its class. That place it undoubtedly deserves, however, and would have secured even against much more formidable competitors than it happens to have. It is altogether a well-arranged, lucid exposition of this unique book in the Bible, based on a careful study of the text and the linguistic and historical background of every part of it."—The Interior. Amos and Hosea By WILLIAM RAINEY HARPER, Ph.D., LL.D. Professor of Semitic Languages and Literatures in the University of Chicago Crown 8vo. Net, $3.00 "I shall have pleasure in recommending it to all students in our Seminary. This book fills, in the most favorable manner, a long-felt want for a good critical commentary on two of the most interesting books in the Old Testament."-Rev. LEWIS B. PATON, Ph.D., Professor of Hebrew, Hartford Theological Seminary. "He has gone, with characteristic minuteness, not only into the analysis and discussion of each point, endeavoring in every case to be thoroughly exhaustive, but also into the history of exegesis and discussion. Nothing at all worthy of consideration has been passed by. The consequence is that when one carefully studies what has been brought together in this volume, either upon some passage of the two prophets treated, or upon some question of critical or antiquarian importance in the introductory portion of the volume, one feels that he has obtained an adequately exhaustive view of the subject."-The Interior. St. Mark By the Rev. E. P. GOULD, D.D. Late Professor of New Testament Exegesis, P. E. Divinity School, Philadelphia Crown 8vo. Net, $2.50 The "The whole make-up is that of a thoroughly helpful, instructive critical study of the Word, surpassing anything of the kind ever attempted in the English language, and to students and clergymen knowing the proper use of a commentary it will prove an invaluable aid.”—The Lutheran Quarterly. "Professor Gould has done his work well and thoroughly. . . commentary is an admirable example of the critical method at its best. The Word study . . . shows not only familiarity with all the literature of the subject, but patient, faithful, and independent investigation. . . . It will rank among the best, as it is the latest commentary on this basal Gospel." -The Christian Intelligencer. "Dr. Gould's commentary on Mark is a large success, . . . and a credit to American scholarship. . . . He has undoubtedly given us a commentary on Mark which surpasses all others, a thing we have reason to expect will be true in the case of every volume of the series to which it belongs."-The Biblical World. St. Luke By the Rev. ALFRED PLUMMER, D.D. Master of University College, Durham; formerly Fellow and Senior Tutor of Trinity College, Oxford Crown 8vo. Net, $3.00 "It is distinguished throughout by learning, sobriety of judgment, and sound exegesis. It is a weighty contribution to the interpretation of the Third Gospel, and will take an honorable place in the series of which it forms a part."-Prof. D. D. SALMOND, in the Critical Review. "We are pleased with the thoroughness and scientific accuracy of the interpretations. . . . It seems to us that the prevailing characteristic of the book is common sense, fortified by learning and piety."-The Herald and Presbyter. "It is a valuable and welcome addition to our somewhat scanty stock of first-class commentaries on the Third Gospel. By its scholarly thoroughness it well sustains the reputation which the INTERNATIONAL SERIES has already won."-Prof. J. H. THAYER, of Harvard University. Romans By the Rev. WILLIAM SANDAY, D.D., LL.D. Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity and Canon of Christ Church, Oxford and the Rev. A. C. HEADLAM, M.A., D.D. Crown 8vo. Net, $3.00 "We do not hesitate to commend this as the best commentary on Romans yet written in English. It will do much to popularize this admirable and much needed series, by showing that it is possible to be critical and scholarly and at the same time devout and spiritual, and intelligible to plain Bible readers."-The Church Standard. "A commentary with a very distinct character and purpose of its own, which brings to students and ministers an aid which they cannot obtain elsewhere. . . . There is probably no other commentary in which criticism has been employed so successfully and impartially to bring out the author's thought."-N. Y. Independent. "We have nothing but heartiest praise for the weightier matters of the commentary. It is not only critical, but exegetical, expository, doctrinal, practical, and eminently spiritual. The positive conclusions of the books are very numerous and are stoutly, gloriously evangelical. . . . The commentary does not fail to speak with the utmost reverence of the whole word of God."-The Congregationalist. Ephesians and Colossians By the Rev. T. K. ABBOTT, B.D., D.Litt. Formerly Professor of Biblical Greek, now of Hebrew, Trinity College, Dublin Crown 8vo. Net, $2.50 ... "The exegesis based so solidly on the rock foundation of philology is argumentatively and convincingly strong. A spiritual and evangelical tenor pervades the interpretation from first to last. . . . These elements, together with the author's full-orbed vision of the truth, with his discriminative judgment and his felicity of expression, make this the peer of any commentary on these important letters."-The Standard. "An exceedingly careful and painstaking piece of work. The introductory discussions of questions bearing on the authenticity and integrity (of the epistles) are clear and candid, and the exposition of the text displays a fine scholarship and insight.”—Northwestern Christian Advocate, |
