LITERARY OPINIONS.

A great and noble work, rich in information, eloquent and scholarly in style, earnestly devout in feeling.—Literary World.
A work of gigantic industry, and what is the chief point, it breathes the spirit of true faith in Christ. I rejoice at such a magnificent creation, and wonder at the extent of reading it shows.—Dr. Delitzsch.
As a picture of the civilization of Christ's time and country, Dr. Geikie's book is admirable. His archaic knowledge is not the product of a special cramming for this book. It is digested knowledge; it appears less in learned foot-notes than in the coloring of the entire narrative. What Conybeare and Howson have done for the life of St. Paul, Dr. Geikie has done for the life of St. Paul's Lord. The learning is not less luminous; while in some respects it is more thoroughly harmonized with, and incorporated into, the life itself.—Harper's Magazine.
