Ein Compendium der gesammten Evangelienkritik mit Berück- sichtigung der neusten Erscheinungen bearbeitet von Dr A. NAMES OF WRITERS AND SOURCES OF ARTICLES. [We have been requested by various friends to give the names of the authors along with the articles as they appear. Our answer to this request has been and is, that in our Prospectus we undertook only to give the names along with the Contents of the Volume, and that we cannot well do more. Some of the American Quarterlies do not announce the names of the writers, which can thus be ascertained only by correspondence with private sources; and correspondence involves delay. We might, indeed, give the names so far as known to us, reserving the others for the close of the Volume; but this would involve a departure from the uniform aspect of the work, a disadvantage for which the communication of fragmentary information of this sort would scarcely compensate.] W. R. WILLIAMS, D.D. The Conservative Principle in our Literature.-(First published in a separate form.) [Dr Williams is minister of a Baptist Church in New York, and, as a thinker and writer, is reputed facile princeps of his denomination in America. He suffers much from poor health, and on this account his works are not so numerous, nor his public influence so frequently exerted, as might be wished. He has recently sent forth two vols.-one, "Lectures on the Lord's Prayer," and the other on Religions Progress"-which have been republished in this country in Collins' Series. His other publications consist chiefly of Sermons and Addresses.] JOHN PROUDFIT, D.D. Catholicism and Inspiration.—(From Biblical Repertory for July 1851). [Dr Proudfit is one of the Professors in Rutgers College, the highly respectable seminary in connection with the Reformed Dutch Church.] CHARLES HODGE, D.D. CONDUCTORS OF THE BIBLICAL REPERTORY AND 1. German Church History.—(From Biblical Repertory for July 1850.) 2. Theories of the Church.-(From Biblical Repertory for January 1846.) 3-5. The Theology of the Intellect and that of the Feelings.—(From Biblical Repertory for October 1850, April 1851, and October 1851.) 6. The Arnaulds.-(From Biblical Repertory for October 1849.) 7. Grinfield's Apology for the Septuagint.-(From Biblical Repertory for October 1850.) 8. The Mosaic Legislation.-(From Biblical Repertory for January 1848.) 9. The True Test of an Apostolical Ministry.—(From Biblical Repertory for April 1851.) 10. University Education.—(From Biblical Repertory for January 1847.) 11. Goold's Edition of Owen.—(From Biblical Repertory for April 1851.) [We regret that we are not at liberty to give a more particular indication of the authorship of the numerous papers that proceed from this collective source. A communication from America, with which we have been favoured, intimates that "they [the Conductors] have never been in the habit of attaching their names to their articles, and are unwilling now to do so." As above stated, however, "the Conductors" of the Biblical Repertory are Dr Hodge and Dr J. A. Alexander of Princeton, and Dr J. W. Alexander of New York. And if our readers ascribe the purely Theological papers in the above list to the first of these honoured names, the Biblical and Critical to the second, and the Historical and Miscellaneous to the third, they will run little risk of mistake. Dr HODGE has a European as well as American reputation. His "Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans," and his " Way of Life," have been, for years, among our household books-while his professorial labours at Princeton, and his numerous papers in the Repertory, have raised him to a place in the first rank of living divines. "He is," writes a respected American friend, "the most calm and philosophic reviewer and theologian on this side the Atlantic." Drs J. A. and J. W. ALEXANDER are (we need scarcely remind the reader) brothers, sons of Dr Archibald Alexander, for so many years the pre-eminent light of the Presbyterian Church of America, and who, after a ministry of sixty years, entered on his rest about twelve months ago. Their mother, who followed her partner only a few weeks since, was the daughter of James Waddell, the celebrated blind preacher, whom Wirt so eloquently sketched in his British Spy, and whose name is perpetuated in Dr J. W. Alexander. JOHN ADDISON ALEXANDER stands in no need of introduction to the British public. His work on Isaiah, although but recently published, is already a standard, and in the hands of every Biblical student. JAMES WADDELL ALEXANDER, though not so well known among us, is an able and accomplished divine, and one of the most popular preachers in America. He has published anonymously numerous volumes for the young-more recently (with his name) an admirable little work on Family Worship, which our Publishers are about to issue in the Christian's Fireside Library; and several of the most lively and interesting papers in the Repertory are also from his pen.] TAYLER LEWIS, LL.D. Spirit of the Old Testament.—(From Biblical Repository for January 1850.) [Dr Lewis is Professor of Greek in Union College, New York. He has distinguished himself in the departments of Philosophy and Classical Criticism; and has also rendered important service by several disquisitions in illustration and defence of Scriptural Ethics, as against the spurious philosophy and philanthropy of the Socinian and Universalist schools.] Was Solomon the Author of Ecclesiastes ?-(From Biblical Repertory for [Mr Riggs recently left America as a Missionary to Greece.] REV. W. H. MOORE. 1. The Unity of the Human Races.-(From The Methodist Quarterly Review for July 1851-slightly abridged.*) 2. Morell's Philosophy of Religion.-(From The Methodist Quarterly Review for July and October 1850.) 3. William Penn.-(From The Methodist Quarterly Review for January 1852.) [Mr Moore is a Presbyterian minister in Richmond, Virginia. He is a young man, and has not as yet published any thing larger or more elaborate than the above articles. A friend writes, " He is a ready and fluent preacher, and, when in the seminary at Princeton, gave fine promise."] JOHN FORSYTH, D.D. Ecolampadius and the Reformation at Basle.-(From Biblical Repertory for [Dr Forsyth is Professor in the Associate Reformed Seminary at Newburg. "He was educated in Scotland, and is an able man and an accomplished scholar."] REV. W. H. GREEN. Keil on Joshua.-(From Biblical Repertory for January 1850.) [Mr Green is Professor of Biblical Literature in Princeton, and one of the most rising men of the American Presbyterian Church. His advancement has been rapid. He graduated at a very early age at Lafayette College, Pennsylvania, and was appointed tutor of Greek and Latin in that institution when he was only fifteen years old. When eighteen he was chosen Assistant Professor of Mathematics. Thereafter he studied at Princeton, and as soon as he had graduated was appointed Assistant Teacher of Hebrew there. Subsequently he became pastor of one of the most important congregations in Philadelphia, from which, after a two years' ministry, he was called last year by the General Assembly to the Chair which he now occupies.] EDWARD ROBINSON, D.D. The Resurrection and Ascension of our Lord.-(From Bibliotheca Sacra for [This clarum et venerabile nomen requires no introduction at our hands. Dr Robinson is doubtless well known by his literary labours to all our readers, and, in connection with his repeated visits to this country, must be known personally to many of them. By his "Researches in Palestine," his "Gospel Harmony," and his "Greek Lexicon of the New Testament." together with his professorial labours, and numerous and invaluable contributions to the periodical literature of the United States, Dr Robinson has accomplished more, perhaps, for the interests of Biblical scholarship than any other living divine. It will gratify our readers to learn that Dr R. has recently spent some months in the East, with the view of prosecuting his "Researches," and issuing them in a complete and final form.] REV. H. B. HACKETT. Strauss's Life of Jesus.-(From Bibliotheca Sacra for May 1845.) [Mr Hackett is Professor of Biblical Literature in Newton Theological Institution (Baptist). A critical Commentary on the Acts, recently published from his pen, is highly spoken of.] *As a general rule our intention is to give the selected articles entire. But as, for evident reasons, this is not always either possible or desirable, we wish to be left at liberty in this respect. We trust, however, that none of our readers will find occasion to complain of the exercise of our editorial discretion; and, of course, when an article is abridged, we shall take care that the reader is duly apprised of the fact. |
