The Book and The Parachapters: Some Chapters on the Transmission of the Bible, by F. F. BRUCE, M.A. Pickering & Inglis Ltd., 229 Bothwell Street, Glasgow; 1950. 12s. 6d. net.
Mr. Bruce has done, in general, good service to conservative theology in issuing the above book. The research he was able to put in such small compass reveals lucidity, ability and scholarship. It is comprehensive and informative; and should prove useful to Divinity students and young ministers. Men of learning and ability were the means under God to hand down to us the Word of God that liveth and abideth forever. Our thanks are due to those who were faithful, upright and sincere in translating the Text of Scripture into the mother tongue of many nations. That work is still going on. It is hardly necessary for us to say that we do not agree with every word and verse in the above book, but on the whole it is very informative.—J. M.
