This treatise was discovered by Luther, who first brought it into notice by an edition which he published in 1516, of which he says: “And I will say, though it be boasting of myself, and ‘I speak as a fool,’ that, next to the Bible and St. Augustine, no book hath ever come into my hands whence I have learnt, or would wish to learn, more of what God and Christ, and man, and all things, are.” “A precious lump of pure gold in a flag of earth and stone.”“This little volume which is brought out in antique style, is, apart from its intrinsic value, a curiosity of literature. It may be regarded as the harbinger of the Protestant Reformation. No fewer than seventeen editions of this book appeared in his lifetime, and up to the present day it has continued to be a favorite manual of devotion in Germany, where it has passed through certainly as many as sixty editions.”—Evening Traveller.“I value itexceedingly, so vivid and so rich is it, on the great ideas ofsin, andsalvation through Christ.”—Congregational Herald.“A most valuable, interesting, and instructive volume, upon the most vital points of Christianity.”—Lutheran Standard.

“Beginning with a general statement of the principles of inductive and deductive logic, which are illustrated by ample examples drawn from the whole field of modern science, it advances to the consideration of the personality, wisdom, and benevolence of the Creator, as seen in nature; to the place of miracles in the Christian system; to the specific evidences of Christianity as discerned in the early history of the New Testament, and in the characteristics of the Christians of the first and second centuries; and to the historical probability of Jesus and his immediate followers having been either impostors or deluded enthusiasts.”—Literary World.“The book would form an admirable text-book for Bible-classes or college classes, and will give solid comfort and strength to all readers who have any desire to be able to give a reason for believing.”—Rev. Dr. Thomas Hill in the Bibliotheca Sacra.

Wright. Studies in Science and Religion.By Prof. G. Frederick Wright, author of “The Logic of Christian Evidences.” 16mo. $1.50
“The chapter on inductive reasoning, with which the book opens, is as full, explanatory, and convincing as any one could wish, despite the fact it occupies only twenty-six pages.... The grand point contended for and carried is that ‘Christianity, in its appeal to historical evidence, allies itself with modern science rather than with the glittering generalities of transcendentalism,’ and that in its beginnings science has no advantage over religion in solidity of basis.”—The Leader.“The article on Prehistoric Man, now appears for the first time. It is illustrated by a number of maps and cuts which enhance the interest of the story. The southern limit of the ice of the Glacial Epoch in North America is traced, and the connection of human implements therewith is shown.”—Oberlin Review.
