Manuals for Theological Students AND GENERAL READERS. This Series of Theological Manuals has been published with the aim of supplying Books concise, comprehensive, and accurate, convenient for the Student, and yet interesting to the general reader. THE NEW TESTAMENT. 1. HISTORY OF THE CANON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT during the First Four Centuries. By BROOKE FOSS WESTCOTT, M.A., late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. Crown 8vo. cloth. 128. 6d. The Author has endeavoured to connect the history of the New Testament Canon with the growth and consolidation of the Catholic Church, and to point out the relation existing between the amount of evidence for the authenticity of its component parts and the whole mass of Christian literature. Such a method of inquiry will convey both the truest notion of the connexion of the written Word with the living Body of Christ, and the surest conviction of its divine authority. "Theological Students-and not they only-but the general public owe a deep debt of gratitude to Mr Westcott for bringing this subject fully before them... As a theological work it is at once perfectly fair and impartial, and imbued with a thoroughly religious spirit-and as a manual, it exhibits in a lucid form and in a narrow compass the results of extensive research and accurate thought."-SATURDAY REVIEW. 2. INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE GOSPELS. BY BROOKE FOSS WESTCOTT, M.A. Crown 8vo. cloth. 108. 6d. "The worth of Mr Westcott's volume for the spiritual interpretation of the Gospels is greater than we can readily express even by the most grateful and approving words. It presents with an unparalleled completeness-the characteristic of the book everywhere being this completeness-wholeness of view, comprehensiveness of representation, the fruits of sacred learning." -NONCONFORMIST. CHURCH HISTORY. 1. HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH DURING THE MIDDLE AGES. BY CHARLES HARDWICK, M.A. Archdeacon of Ely and Christian Advocate in the University of Cambridge. Second Edition. With 4 Maps. Crown 8vo. cloth, 108. 6d. 2. HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH DURING THE REFORMATION. By ARCHDEACON HARDWICK. Crown 8vo. cloth. 108. 6d. HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN MISSIONS IN THE MIDDLE AGES. By GEORGE FREDERICK MACLEAR, M.A. Crown 8vo. cloth. 108. 6d. COMPANION VOLUME TO HARDWICK'S CHURCH HISTORY. THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER. HISTORY OF THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER. With a Rationale of its Offices. By FRANCIS PROCTER, M.A. Fifth Edition. 464 pp. (1860). Crown 8vo. cloth. 108. 6d. When the present series of Manuals was projected, it did not appear that any one of the existing volumes taken singly was available for the desired object. In the course of the last twenty years the whole question of Liturgical knowledge has been reopened with great learning and accurate research, and it was mainly with the view of epitomizing the extensive publications on the subject, and correcting by their help the errors and misconceptions which had obtained currency, that the present volume was published. The rapid sale of Four Editions may be taken as a proof that this work has been found useful to students and general readers. "By far the best commentary extant...As a manual of extensive information, historical and ritual, imbued with sound Church principles, we are entirely satisfied with Mr Procter's important volume."-CHRISTIAN RE MEMBRANCER, By the same Author. ELEMENTARY HISTORY OF THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER. For the Use of Schools and popular reading. 12mo. cloth. 28. 6d. The Author having been frequently urged to give a popular abridgement of his larger work in a form which should be suited for use in Schools and general readers, has attempted in this book to trace the History of the Prayer-Book, and to supply to the English reader the general results which in the larger work are accompanied by elaborate discussions and references to authorities indispensable to the student. It is hoped that this book may form a useful manual to assist people generally to a more intelligent use of the Forms of our Common Prayer. |
