s a revised and enlarged edition of a book published last
year. The author reviews criticisms upon the first edition, denies
that he rejects the doctrine of the incarnation, admits his doubts
of the physical resurrection of Christ, and his belief in
evolution. The volume is to be marked as one of the most profound
expressions of the modern movement toward broader theological
positions."--_Brooklyn Times._

reader, before many pages have been turned, that he has a
