Its almost unique interest lies in the fact that it is the record of the emperor Augustus during his public life of nearly sixty years.

The Roman Republic and the Founder of the Empire. Three volumes. 1923. Vol. I. From the Origins to 58 в.c.; 58-50 B.C.; pp. xvi +338. Vol. III, 50-44 B.C.; pp. xx+620. and plans. 3 gns. net. By T. RICE HOLMES. pp. xvi + 486. Vol. II, 8vo (9×6), with 29 maps At the Clarendon Press. The author has endeavoured to do for the revolutionary period of Roman history what he had done before for Britain and Gaul. After a preliminary outline he narrates in increasing detail the events of the period from the tribunate of Tiberius Gracchus to the death of Caesar (133-44 B. c.), giving such a general view of life in Italy and the Roman provinces as may enable those who are not versed in Roman antiquities to picture the background of events described. The plan of the volumes is the same as that previously adopted in Ancient Britain and the Conquest of Gaul. The first part of each is taken up with the narrative, diversified by translated letters of Cicero, Caelius, Pompey, Caesar, &c., and the second part with a discussion of all difficulties.

Roman games may be studied as artistic spectacles, as sport, as 'a chapter in the history of morals'. This work, however, deals with them exclusively as religious phenomena, beginning archaeologically; and the author comments on texts or monuments which are of difficult or doubtful interpretation.

Crown 4to 9 × 81, pp. clxxxviii + 312. 48s. net. At the Clarendon Press. The earlier volumes of the Series were editions of single manuscripts of some part of the New Testament: the present volume tackles a more difficult problem, and fills a more obvious gap, in dealing with the whole mass of New Testament quotations and allusions in an early Western Writer, Irenaeus of Lyons (A. D. 180-90). For the first time all the New Testament material in Irenaeus' great work Adversus Haereses is put together, and arranged for comparison with other Old-Latin authorities; while the evidence of the newly discovered Armenian version is also utilized. The volume includes chapters by Dr. Hort, Dr. Conybeare, Dr. Armitage Robinson, and Prof. Souter. Problems of the New Testament To-day. By R. H. MALDEN. 1923. Crown 8vo (7×51), pp. 250, with list of books referred to in the notes, a chronological list of the books of the New Testament, appendixes on the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection, and an index. 6s. 6d. net. Oxford University Press, London. This book is intended less for scholars than for the general reader who has heard of New Testament criticism but has had little opportunity of becoming familiar with its conclusions. It shows that while criticism has made it necessary to read the New Testament in a new light, the real authority of the Scriptures is unimpaired. The Epistles, the Acts, and the Revelation of St. John combine to raise the question, Who was Jesus?' The Gospels furnish the answer. The Literature of the Old Testament in its Historical Development. By JULIUS A. BEWER. 1922. (Records of Civilization: Sources and Studies Edited by James T. Shotwell.) Medium 8vo (91 × 64), pp. xiv+452. 22s. 6d. Columbia University Press. net. A companion to the study of the Old Testament, showing the way in which its makers drew upon their sources and framed the miscellany into a canon. Professor Shotwell explains that the chapters follow a general historical sequence; but the main thing in the formation of the Old Testament is less chronological antecedent than spiritual affiliation. Professor Bewer's contribution in this field, that of almost intuitive appreciation of the message of each part, is certainly not lessened by keeping text and comment so closely in touch.' The Origin of Biblical Traditions. Hebrew Legends in Babylonia and Israel. Lectures on Biblical Archaeology delivered at the Lutheran Theological Seminary, Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, by ALBERT T. CLAY. 1923. (Yale Oriental SeriesResearches, Volume XII.) 8vo (10×7†), pp. 224, with one illustration. 13s. 6d. net. Yale University Press. Israel has been generally supposed to have borrowed its religious traditions from Babylonia. This book maintains a different thesis-that the stories were indigenous to Syria and came both to Babylonia and Palestine from a preceding Amorite empire. The Septuagint and Jewish Worship.

Crown 8vo (71× 5), pp. xxxii+342. 10s. 6d. net. Oxford University Press, London. A contribution to the study of Christian Origins which the Author holds is helpful in the solution of the ever-recurring problems of Christian life and thought. The three measures are Hebrew, Greek, and Roman. The leaven, the three measures of meal; the Vital Force, the elements of humanity.' The Last Journey of Christ to Jerusalem. Its purpose in the light of the Synoptic Gospels. By WILLIAM HEALEY CADMAN. 1923. Crown 8vo (7×51), pp. 160. 7s. 6d. net. At the Clarendon Press. The Synoptic accounts of our Lord's last journey to Jerusalem raise various problems. The fundamental question is this: What aims did our Lord desire to realize in the city? In other words, what was His conception of His mission in the latter part of His life? Did He go to Jerusalem expecting to die? Or is the Synoptic representation that He did so a projection into the sources?' |
