By the Rev. A. M. FAIRBAIRN, M.A., D.D., LL.D., Principal of Mansfield College, Oxford; Author of "The Place of Christ in Modern Theology," etc. _Fifth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d._
_The Daily Chronicle_, in a Leading Article, says:
"Such a work cannot but have a deep effect."
"Dr. Fairbairn's able and striking volume.... The treatment is throughout so thoughtful and free from narrow polemical bias."--_Times._
"The book is certainly one every theologian must welcome--high-minded in tone, broad in its outlook, penetrating in its vision, and full of luminous _apercus_ on the history of thought and of events."--_Literature._
=THE PLACE OF CHRIST IN MODERN THEOLOGY.= _Eleventh Edition. 8vo, cloth, 12s._
"In some respects this is a great book. It strikes out a new and generally a fresh line of argument. The story of the development of thought during the Christian ages is a brilliant and vivid historical sketch, and will be a most useful piece of reference to the student."--THE DEAN OF GLOUCESTER, _in the Pall Mall Gazette_.
"His work is, without doubt, one of the most valuable and comprehensive contributions to theology that has been made during this generation."--_Spectator._
"Dr. Fairbairn starts from the principle that Christian theology must be based on the consciousness of Christ; and from the fact that the historical Christ is only now, nineteen centuries after His appearance on earth, being recovered for human knowledge and faith.... A more vivid summary of Church history has never been given. With its swift characterisation of schools and politics, with its subtle tracings of the development of various tendencies through the influence of their environment, of reaction, and of polemic; with its contrasts of different systems, philosophies, and races; with its portraits of men; with its sense of progress and revolt--this part of Dr. Fairbairn's book is no mere annal, but drama, vivid and full of emotion, representative of the volume and sweep of Christianity through the centuries."--_Speaker._
"The volume before us is the most weighty and important which he has yet issued. His treatises entitled 'Studies in the Life of Christ' and 'A City of God' contain much of great value; but in a sense they gave promise of better things to come, and this promise has been amply fulfilled ... in this very able and learned and altogether admirable discussion on 'The Place of Christ in Modern Theology.' ... The book is evidently one for the times, and doubtless attention will be widely drawn to it on account of the great importance of the subject of which it treats, the honoured name of its author, and the conspicuous ability, the competent learning, and the gracious spirit which it everywhere displays."--_Scotsman._
