It will be well for him, in the interest of a full con- Bpectus of points of view, to have others on his shelves, but he cannot afford to be without this." The New Age says :—" If the general reader, ignorant of Hebrew and Greek, and unskilled in the technicalities of the professional critic, will courageously read and study a few of the articles in the ' Encyclopaedia Biblica,' he will obtain a true insight into the problems and methods of modern criticism, and gain more real knowledge of the contents and meaning of the Bible than from any other book we know The chief thing the reader should have, In a book of the character of the * Encyclopaedia Biblica,' is material for forming a judgment; and on all disputed and doubtful questions this is what the editors have evidently striven hard to give." The British Weekly says :—" If this dictionary is anything, it represents, without fear and without favour, the actual truth, so far as it is known at present We doubt whether any Encyclopedia of the Bible, whether English or foreign, Is so full of new and solidly built-up material relating to the Bible."
