"PLATONISM VERSUS CHRISTIANITY"

WE have received from the office of the Bible Banner, Philadelphia, a pamphlet of 97 pages with the above title, written by J. H. Pettingell, A. M. Prof. Pettingell promises to become a prominent author on the subject of immortality through Christ. The publisher's note accompanying the pamphlet says:—
"This small volume, entitled Platonism vs. Christianity, is the first chapter of a larger volume in the course of preparation, to be entitled THE LIFE EVERLASTING: What is it? Whence is it? Whose is it?
"It is a monograph, complete in itself, of about 100 pages, and devoted to the history of the question of Conditional Immortality, under four sections: 1. Heathen speculations; 2. Belief of the Ancient Hebrews; 3. Doctrine of the Primitive Church; 4. Modern Belief.
"To this sketch there is annexed an essay on the UNITY OF MAN, in which the author combats the notion of the dual or triple nature of man, and contends that he is an indivisible integer in life, in death, and in the resurrection, and in the Life Everlasting."
