YOUNG. THE CHRIST OF HISTORY. By Rev. JOHN YOUNG, D.D. With new Introduction by Principal E. GRIFFITH-JONES, B.A. Demy 8vo, stout paper wrapper, 6d.; by post 8d. [Allenson's Sixpenny Series. Rev. Dr G. G. Findlay writes:-"Dr Young's 'Christ of History' is a book well worth re-publication, and that will for long retain its value. Dr Young was in fact the pioneer of modern apologetics, and this in two respects. He fastened on the person and character of Jesus Christ as the key of the whole argument; and he set the character and work of our Lord in the light of universal history, confronting these with the conscience and experience of humanity. For breadth of treatment and sustained eloquence, and for skill in appealing to the average mind, I do not know that this work is surpassed by anything subsequently written."
