NOTICES OF NEW BOOKS.

I. THE FIRST ADAM AND THE SECOND. The Elohim revealed in the Creation and Redemption of Man. By Samuel J. Baird, D. D., Pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Woodbury, N. J. Philadelphia: Lindsay & Blakiston. 1860. pp. 688.

This volume is specially interesting from its relations and connections. The Princeton Review speaks of it in the following exagge rated manner: "There are not many works in the history of American theology of higher rank than this volume is destined, in our judgment, to take. It is immeasurably above many of the productions of the last century, which have secured for their authors a lasting reputation. It is to us a matter of deep regret, that a work which has so much to recommend it, and which we believe will vindicate for itself a permanent place in the theological literature of the country, takes ground on the subject of imputation which we are fully persuaded is unscriptural, and contrary to the standards of our church, and to the theology of the great body of Protestants."

Dr. Baird holds, "that we were so in Adam that we share in the moral responsibility of his apostacy, as really as though we had wrought it for ourselves, personally and severally; and that, in consequence, we are guilty, and condemned under the curse, at the bar of God's infinite justice." In consequence of this view, he marches boldly up to the doctrine that it is our duty to repent of original sin. He also maintains firmly that the word "guilty," as used in our Confession of Faith, and by the Reformed divines, means "blameworthy," and not merely "liable to punishment."

It is clear that Dr. Baird differs more from Dr. Hodge than from Mr. Barnes. The Princeton divines make imputation a legal fiction, and this, it is insisted by them, is the orthodox doctrine. Both Dr. Baird and Mr. Barnes reject this; both maintaining, in the strongest terms, that the Almighty never imputes any thing to any one except his own act; that His imputations are always according to the truth. When we listen to Dr. Baird on this point, we seem to be hearing Mr. Barnes. For example: "Dr. Hodge says, 'On account of Adam's sin, we are regarded and treated as sinners.' Regarded as sinners, by whom? By the all-seeing, the all-wise, the ever true and gracious God. Here then the question presents itself: Is the light in which God thus regards us, the true light? If the answer be in the affirmative, the question is settled. We are, then, sinners, really and truly; and therefore, so treated by God. If this alternative be denied-if it be

assumed that we are not truly sinners in Adam's sin-we are shut up to the atheistic conclusion, that the divine judgment is not according to truth. The declarative righteousness and justice of God, can consist in nothing else, than his treating his accountable creatures according to fact and truth. If then, God treat us as sinners, there is but one alternative-either to impeach his justice, or to confess that we are sinners." (p. 439.)

"If it [Adam's sin] is not a man's own, as it is sin or crime, justice will not account it his. In other words, at the bar of justice, things are contemplated in no other light than precisely as they are. Nothing is there held as ground of condemnation, but sin. Nothing is recognised as sin, but deviation from the law. The Scriptures are, in fact, without a trace of any such principle of divine government, as is implied in an imputation for punishment, of that which is not in the victim as sin. Appeal will be made to the case of the Lord Jesus bearing the sins of the world, although in him was no sin. But essential to this case, was that divine authority by which he had a native superiority to the law, and power over his own life; and that freedom, by which he honoured the law, in making himself a voluntary subject to its precept and curse, for us. It is certain, that had the sufferings of Christ been involuntary, they would have been a violation of justice, instead of being a signal display of it. This case, then, proves nothing to the present purpose. The question is not, what the infinite grace of the infinite One is competent to do, in assuming to himself the punishment of our sins; but, what the law denounces, and justice demands, against creatures who are unwilling victims of its curse." (pp. 492, 3.)

We admire the courage of Dr. Baird. Making the natural relation of the human race to Adam, the foundation of their legal or covenant position, he is met by the difficulty of the individual creation of souls; to avoid this, he takes ground distinctly, and without flinching, for the generation of souls as well as bodies.

Dr. Baird is unjust-no doubt unintentionally-to Mr. Barnes. Thus in two or three places he classes him with "the New Haven school of divines." It is evident from the connection, that Dr. Taylor and that school are meant, and not Dr. Dwight. We beg, therefore, to inform Dr. Baird, that we have some reason to be acquainted with the views of Mr. Barnes, and that he does not hold one single opinion in theology, which is specially characteristic of the school of Dr. Taylor.

Again Dr. Baird quotes from Mr. Barnes an argument which Dr. B. himself declares to be "sound and conclusive," to prove that "Christ stood in our place, that he was our substitute at the bar, and suffered
