Edited by SHAILER MATHEWS, D.D., Dean of the Divinity School, and Professor of Historical and Comparative Theology in the University of Chicago, Editor of the Series of "New Testament Handbooks," etc. "Biblical science has progressed rapidly during the past few years, but the reader still lacks a brief but comprehensive commentary that shall extend to him in usable form material now at the disposition of the student. It is hoped that in this series the needs of intelligent Sunday-school teachers have been met, as well as those of clergymen and lay readers, and that in scope, purpose, and loyalty to the Scriptures as a foundation of Christian thought and life, its volumes will stimulate the intelligent use of the Bible in the home and the school."- From the General Introduction to the Series. Each volume is convenient in size, well printed on excellent paper, and attractively and serviceably bound. VOLUMES NOW READY The Epistle to the Hebrews By EDGAR J. GOODSPEED, Assistant Professor of Biblical and Patristic Cloth, ix + 132 pages. Price, 50 cents net by mail "It is scholarly and modern, yet simple, a truly interpretive commentary, not uncritical, though criticism is not obtruded, not without the results of keen philological study, though the reader sees little or nothing of the processes. The Epistle becomes an illuminating exponent of the spiritual life of its time." -BENJAMIN W. BACON in the Yale Divinity Quarterly. Acts Being the second volume of Luke's work on the Beginnings of Christianity, with interpretative comment. By GEORGE HOLLEY GILBERT, Ph.D., D.D. Cloth, 267 pages. Price, 75 cents net; by mail, 81 cents "Dr. Mathews and his fellow-editors are performing a task for the Church of to-day that should be far-reaching in its results; for there is pressing need that the rank and file of Bible students be equipped with the material for an historical interpretation. This is a necessary step to the creation of a theology which is in harmony with the present age, wherein all science is studied historically; and, furthermore, the transition from the traditional to the historical view will be furthered through the production of such aids to Bible study as those under review, rather than through theoretical discussions on the relative merits of the respective views." — Lutheran Quarterly. PUBLISHED BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 64-66 Fifth Avenue, New York The Bible for Home and School Genesis VOLUMES NOW READY-Continued By HINCKLEY GILBERT MITCHELL, Ph.D., D.D., Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Exegesis in Boston University. Cloth, 377 pages. Price, 90 cents net; by mail, 97 cents "The introduction to this volume on Genesis gives the very best and clearest analysis of the book, according to the 'modern critical theories,' to be had anywhere."-The Presbyterian. "Genesis has always been one of the most popular books of the Bible, yet in some ways it is one of the most difficult. These difficulties arise partly from the book itself and partly from the popular conception of the book. It takes scholarship to handle the first class of difficulties, and courage the second; and Dr. Mitchell has both scholarship and courage. The notes are learned and brief and have a vivacity that makes Genesis seem quite a modern book.". Boston Transcript. Galatians ...

"We know of no commentary which gives a better exposition in so brief a compass."The Reform Church Review. Colossians and Ephesians By GROSS ALEXANDER, Editor of The Methodist Review. Cloth, 132 pages. Price, 50 cents; by mail, 55 cents "Judging from the volumes that have appeared, the general editor of these commentaries has been very successful in getting commentators who have the skill so to treat the books of the Bible that they come to the men of to-day with vital power. The introductions to these two epistles are marvels of compactness; yet all that is necessary to those for whom this series is intended for an understanding of these letters will be found here." ― Boston Transcript.

In one volume, with general articles and maps, $2.50 net; by mail, $2.82 "The One-Volume Bible Commentary' breaks a new path in exegetical literature. It is a marvel of condensed scholarship. I know of no book that compresses so much solid information into the same number of pages. While up-to-date in every respect, I rejoice to note its prevalent conservatism and its reverent tone.” — HENRY E. JACOBS, Lutheran Theological Seminary, Mount Airy, Philadelphia. "This book is no bigger than a good sized Bible, but in it the whole Bible is expounded. This is what families and Sunday-school teachers have long been waiting for. The other commentaries are in too many volumes and cost too much to get into the ordinary domestic library. But this fits any shelf. The explanations clear away the difficulties and illuminate the text. They make it possible for anybody to read even the prophets with understanding. The critical expositions are uniformly conservative, but the best scholarship is brought to them. This is what devout and careful scholars believe. To bring all this into moderate compass and under a reasonable price is a notable accomplishment.”—DR. George Hodges, Dean of the Episcopal Theological School, Cambridge, Mass. “An astonishing amount of information has been compressed into these pages, and it will be difficult to find another book anything near this in size which will be as helpful to the general reader as this. Sunday-school teachers, Bible students, Christian Endeavorers, and all that are interested in the study of the Word of God will find here a store of helpful suggestions."— Christian Endeavor World.
