HISTORY OF OPINIONS ON THE SCRIPTURAL DOC-
TEINE OF KETEIBUTIOlsr. By Edward Beechee, D. D., author of "The
Conflict of Ages." 1 vol., 12mo. Price, $1.25.
The momentous question of future retribution is here historically discussed with
an earnestness and deliberation due to its transcendent importance. The main interest
of the inquiry necessarily centres in the doom of the wicked. Will it be annihilation ?
Ultimate restoration to holiness and happiness? Endless punishment? Or, Is it out
of our power to decide which of these views is the truth? The discussion is intensified by being narrowed to the meaning of a single word, aionios. The opinions of
those to whom Christ spoke, and how they understood him, are vital questions in the
argument; and, to solve them, the opinions and modes of speech of preceding ages
must bo attentively weighed, for each age is known to have moulded the opinions and
use of words of its successor. Hence, Dr. Beecher has found himself compelled to
"trace the development of thought and language from the outset to the days of Christ,
then to inquire into the import of his words, in the light of all preceding ages; and,
lastly, to trace the development of opinion downward through the Christian ages."
ST. PAUL'S WITHIN THE WALLS. An Account of the American Chapel at Borne, Italy; together with the Sermons preached in Connection
with its Consecration, Feast of the Annunciation, March 25,1876. By the Be v.
E. J. Nevin, D. D., Eector. 1 vol., 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"The wide-spread interest manifested in the work of building St. Paul's Church,
in Rome, is a sufficient reason for the publication of this volume. The author feels
the need only of an apology for its late appearance, and begs to plead in excuse for
this the exhaustion following six years of heavy and unbroken toil and anxiety, and
the pressure of duties whose daily fulfillment seemed to have a first claim on his time
and strength."—Extract from Preface.
THE LIFE AND WORDS OF CHRIST. By Cunningham
Gf.ikie, D. D. With Twelve Engravings on Steel. In 2 vols. Price, $8.00.
From Dr. Delitzsch, the Commentator.
" A work of gigantic industry, noble in outward form, of the highest rank in its
contents, and, what is the chief point, it breathes the spirit of true faith in Christ.
I have read enough of it to rejoice at such a magnificent creation, and especially to
wonder at the extent of reading it shows. When I shall have occasion to revise my
Hebrew New Testament, I hope to get much help from it."
From Bishop Beck with, of Georgia.
"The book is of value not merely to the theological student or student of history,
but the family. It furnishes information which every one should possess, and which
thoughtful people will be glad to gain from so agreeable a teacher."
From Dr. John Hall.
" The author has aimed at producing s. book of continuous, easy narrative, in which
the reader may, as far as possible, see the Saviour of men live and move, and may hear
the words he utters with the most vivid attainable idea of his circumstances and sur
roundings. The result is a work to which all Christian hearts will respond."
From Bishop Littlejohn, of Long Island.
"Dr. Geikie has performed his task—the most difficult in biographical literature—
with great ability. His pages evince abundant and accurate learning, and, what is of
even more consequence, a simple and cordial faith in the Gospel narratives. The more
the work shall circulate, the more it will be regarded as a most valuable addition to a
branch of sacred literature which ought in every age to absorb the best fruits of sacred
scholarship, and to command the highest gifts of human genius."
