ST. PAUL AND CHRISTIANITY. Crown 8vo, 5s. net.

The purpose of this book is to examine the writings of St. Paul as a whole in the light of other early Christian teaching, and to show that Paulinism does not represent any new departure in Christian thought but the natural development of fundamental Christian principles, the germs of which are to be found in the teaching of Christ and of the Primitive Church.

“There is a calm frankness, an obviously deep sincerity, and a width of view about the writer’s method which is eminently reassuring. His wide and deep learning gives a sound foundation, and on that foundation he builds with a combination of enthusiasm and common sense which is too rare among the theologians of to-day.”――_Guardian._

A CALL TO SEAMEN and other Sermons Preached to Naval Cadets at the Royal Naval College, Osborne. With a Preface by the Right Rev. Bishop RYLE, the Dean of Westminster. Second Edition. Crown 8vo, 2s. 6d. net.

“A Call to Seamen” is the first collection of addresses issued for reading to boys on Sunday evenings, or from the pulpit, which may be considered entirely excellent. Every sentence arrests, and the sympathy with boy-life, as well as the compelling earnestness of the diction, must grip any boy-audience in quite an unusual manner. The style is manly, non-sentimental, and is suitable for boys aged eleven to sixteen.

BUDDHIST CHINA. With numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo, 15s. net.

This book embodies the results of wide travel in unfrequented parts of China, and much research in Chinese Buddhist literature. It contains historical and topographical accounts of some of the most famous religious centres in the empire. The author has lived as a guest in many of the monasteries and hermitages described, and has made himself intimately acquainted with their legendary and romantic as well as their religious and historical associations. He deals with the religious problems arising from the new political and social conditions and prospects brought about by the Revolution, and the book is therefore of special value to all who take an interest in the religious future of the Chinese people.

It abounds in matter which touches at many points the history of Christianity in general, of Christian churches in particular, and of the individual Christian soul in its inner life.

HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY, in a letter to Mr. Murray, says:――“In my movements backwards and forwards between Lambeth and Canterbury, I almost fear that I may never have thanked you for sending me a copy of your one-volume Dictionary of Christian Biography. If I have already written, pardon this further letter. But I should like to tell you how greatly I value the book. I have been using it for some of my work, and am immensely struck by the way in which it seems to have been found possible to bring into this smaller compass practically everything of real importance to the general reader. I am certain that the editors and yourself have done a great public service in placing this book upon our shelves.”

What correspondents to the _Guardian_ say:――

“If a book is wanted which is at once cheap, clear, learned, and up-to-date, ‘The Doctrine of the Last Things’ may be strongly recommended. In it the reader will find the Old Testament, the Apocalyptic literature, the Rabbinical writings, and the New Testament most carefully analysed and the results presented in a simple form. In it there is ample material for many courses of Advent sermons on modern but reverent lines.”

“Will you allow me to make use of your columns to commend to my brethren, as an invaluable help in their Advent preaching, Dr. Oesterley’s book? It is popular and lucid in style, scholarly in matter, and illuminating in instruction.... I do not myself know of any other book covering quite the same ground or so immediately helpful to the preacher in Advent.”

This work is intended to furnish a complete account of the leading personages, the Institutions, Art, Social Life, Writings, and Controversies of the Christian Church from the time of the Apostles to the age of Charlemagne. It commences at the period at which the “Dictionary of the Bible” leaves off, and forms a continuation of it; it ceases at the age of Charlemagne, because (as Gibbon has remarked) the reign of this monarch forms the important link of ancient and modern, of civil and ecclesiastical history. It thus stops short of what we commonly call the Middle Ages.

A considerable part of the Notes are those which already appear in the “Speaker’s Commentary,” but these have been revised and enlarged. The work is edited by the Bishop’s son, the Rev. A. Westcott.

The _Churchman_ says:――“Westcott on St. John has long been a familiar and welcome phrase to multitudes of Bible students. And these two volumes will make it a little more familiar and welcome, for they represent the latest words of the great scholar on a subject that was, perhaps, nearest to his heart of all the work that he was enabled to accomplish.”

“We have nothing but praise for this little work. It is written in a way which proves the writer’s knowledge of and sympathy with young people, and it is commendably free from the technical phraseology which creeps into most books of its kind, to the confusion of youthful readers. Above all, it is true and deep in all its teachings.”――_Church Times._

44 – And it cannot be overlooked that in one of the passages of St. Paul’s epistles where the law of the indissolubility of marriage is stated (Romans vii. 1‒3) he is referring to the _Jewish_ law (see ver. 1) which confessedly admitted exceptions, and yet he does not allude to them.

60 – The story is given from a Norman-French poem of the time of Henry III, probably by a Westminster monk; see _Lives of Edward the Confessor_, Rolls Series, iii. pp. 53, 207.

61 – _Didache_ 1. It must not be forgotten that both St. John (1 John iii. 17) and St. James (ii. 15‒16) are speaking of helping “a brother” or “sister,” i.e. a fellow-Christian. And in those days there was an immense probability that a member of the Christian society would be one who had character enough to profit by help. But it soon became necessary to “organize charity” by desiring the faithful to give only indirectly through the bishop.

62 – From the days of the sub-apostolic Hermas, who makes the responsibility rest wholly with the recipient of alms.

63 – Overton’s _Life and Opinions of W. Law_, p. 244.

64 – e.g. Job xxxi. 29; Exod. xxiii. 4.

65 – _Lectures on the O.T._ viii. 2, p. 188.

66 – “Disfigure” or possibly “conceal” their faces, so that by a form of dress drawn over the face they may be shown to be persons going about as penitents.

67 – e.g. St. Matt. xvii. 21; St. Mark ix. 29; 1 Cor. vii. 5.

68 – 1 Cor. ix. 27; 2 Cor. xi. 27.

69 – Gal. iv. 6.

70 – Hebr. xii. 22.

71 – It is not improbable, as has been recently suggested by Mr. Chase (see below, p. 135), that this expression, occurring side by side with “this day,” is due to the use of the prayer both morning and evening. In the morning Christians prayed “give us our bread to-day,” and in the evening “give us our bread for to-morrow.”

72 – The difficulty experienced in regard to this clause by the early Christians is well known. I may refer to Mr. Chase’s _Lord’s Prayer in the Early Church_ (Texts and Studies, Cambridge, 1891), pp. 60 ff. Mr. Chase also points out the close resemblance between the “Lord’s Prayer” and our Lord’s own language of prayer or about prayer in the time of the passion. “Father ... Thy will be done....” “Pray that ye enter not into temptation.” “I pray that thou shouldest keep them from the evil one.” There are other resemblances perceptible in the prayer recorded in St. John xviii.

In the original language used by our Lord “_Lead_ (us not into temptation”) and “_Enter_ (into temptation”) would only be different forms of the same verb.

73 – 1 Cor. iii. 22, 23.

74 – St. John vii. 49.

75 – St. Matt. xviii. 15‒18.

77 – 1 Cor. v.

78 – 1 Thess. v. 21.

81 – Rom. viii. 14.

82 – St. Luke vi. 37‒38.

83 – Col. i. 28.

84 – The reference is to the saying of Hillel, “What to thyself is hateful, to thy neighbour thou shalt not do; this is the whole law and the rest is commentary” (cp. _Tobit_ iv. 15; _Did._ i. 3), and to the similar maxim suggested by Plato and current among the Stoics.

85 – Rom. xiii. 9.

86 – St. Luke xiii. 23‒49; St. John xxi. 21‒22.

87 – St. John ii. 23‒25.

88 – St. Matt. xvi. 17.

89 – Those not occurring continuously in chap. vi. are printed in italics.

90 – This is a higher moral principle than that Jewish method of “making a fence to the law,” which is expressed in the _Didachè_ 3. “Be not prone to anger, _for anger leads to murder_.... Be not lustful, _for lust leads to fornication_.” The wrong condition of the will is, according to our Lord, itself the evil, apart from what it may lead to. What is needed is not merely outward respectability or conformity, but a right spirit.

Humility both towards God and towards our fellow-men is simply the recognition of the truth about ourselves.

92 – It can hardly, however, be denied that there are rare cases where untruthfulness in word becomes a duty owing to the social evil which verbal truthfulness would involve. Thus almost all men would think it right to lie to a would-be murderer in order to save a life. I twice heard the late Master of Balliol, who had great moral common sense, in answer to the question what he would do in such a case, reply: “I suppose I should tell the lie, but I had rather not think about it beforehand or justify it afterwards.” This is the best answer in regard to such quite abnormal cases. But there are certain more normal cases where professional reserve involves something approaching untruthfulness. The lawyer, doctor, or Cabinet Minister may be asked a question which ought not to be asked, and have no alternative but to give some more or less misleading answer, or in effect disclose (even by silence or refusal to answer) a professional secret. The “seal of the confessional”――imposed on the clergy (with a gradually increasing stringency) by the general law of the Church and by the Anglican canons of 1603 (c. 113)――is an intensified case of such professional obligation of secrecy. In such cases the possible moral evil is reduced to a minimum if society recognizes that what is known under a “seal,” sacramental or professional, is not included in the knowledge which is recognized in social life. I have written the above because if there are circumstances, however rare, where a man would not act on the ordinary obligation of candid speech he had better give general public notice of it. But I cannot feel satisfied with the reasonings of moralists, Jesuit, Anglican or Protestant, about the morality of the matter. E.g. Newman Smyth, _Christian Ethics_ (Clark, Edin. 1892), pp. 388 ff.

93 – Eph. iv. 28; 1 Tim. vi. 17, 18; James v. 4.

94 – The account of our duty to God and our duty towards our neighbour in our Catechism is, when quoted correctly (“in that state of life into which it _shall_ please God to call me”) and interpreted rightly (“betters” not meaning “those keeping carriages”), admirable, but of course very short.

95 – It is perhaps hardly fair to say more than this. Christ simply exempted a particular case from a general prohibition, leaving the Church free in regard to it.
