An. imporiant. new hook, en- titled "Biblical Criticism And Modern Thought," by Prof. Jordan, of Queen's University, Kingston. In this volume Prof. Jordan has endeavored to skeich: extent, what may be called the background of the Bible. He is convinced that one of the great needs of owr time is a clearer uddorstanding on the part of ministers, Sunday school teachers and intelligent laymen ol the work done by the Old Testa- ment "in preparing for tha Christian faith and of its historical setting in the life of the Hebrew people. In this volume he maintains that the scholar lv labor spent upon the Old Testament, doring the last century has had the effect of making the Bible both more intelligible and move interesting, and by showing the wonderful victory achieved by Iscacl's prophets and, teachers has given new force and mean- ing to the idea of revelation. No where 'more clearly than here do we sce tho™ righteons purpose of 'God working itself out in the sphere of hu- man history.
