Professor Andrew Harper’s “Recent Criticism” Examined.—By Rev. Arthur Paul, St. Kilda, Victoria. Melbourne: Mason, Firth & M’Cutcheon, Collins Street. Mr. Paul has kindly sent us a copy of this pamphlet of 53 pages, in which he examines with considerable acuteness and effect a lecture delivered by Principal Harper of Sydney, in 1903, on “The Influence of Modern Critical Studies on the Spiritual Value of the Bible.” Principal Harper endeavours to prove that the higher critics, with whom he is in sympathy, have not deprived the Bible by their studies of any of its spiritual value—that its religious worth still continues the same, though they have taken away its infallibility. But Mr. Paul, who is an aged and able defender of the faith, exposes the fallacy of this argument, and his pamphlet is fitted to be useful as a corrective to the subtleties of unbelief in relation to the Scriptures. Students of divinity would be benefited by the perusal of it. J. S. S.
