Appleton & Company publish NOTES ON THE MIRACLES OF BY THE REV. RICHARD C. TRENCH, M. A. One volume, 8vo. Price, $1.75. "This book is a reprint of an English work. The author is Professor of Divinity in King's College, London, and is the author of a standard work, also reprinted in this country, on the 'Parables of our Lord.' We have examined the book before us with some little attention; and feel gratified at the results of the examination. We have nothing in the English language, on this subject, which can compare in elaborateness and critical value with the work of Mr. Trench. The style of treatment adopted by Mr. Trench is plain and familiar, following the course of the Scripture narrative, and is eminently apologetic. Difficulties are met and cleared away with a readiness that shows familiarity, not only with the records themselves, but with the almost infinite theological controversies to which they have given rise. The author relies much on the authority of the Fathers. He is evidently familiar with their, in some respects, incomparable productions, particularly with the writings of that clear thinker and master in theology, Augustine, bishop of Hippo. These ancient writings he uses often by way of illustration, very aptly. Mr. T. is familiar, too, with the productions of the German theologians, and makes good use of them in his Notes, now by confuting them, now by adducing their testimony in support of his own views. Without this knowledge of what the Germans have said, no man, of the present day, need expect, we may safely say, to contribute any thing really scholarlike, valuable, or permanent to theological literature. Mr. Trench knows well the truth of this assertion. Indeed, the most valuable suggestions in his present work bear the mark of their German origin. Not that the writer has borrowed without due credit from others; but he has become imbued, by his plan of study, with the critical spirit of his masters. "The Miracles treated of are thirty-three in number. There is prefixed to the main body of the work, a Preliminary Essay on Miracles, in which the author discourses in an interesting and masterly manner on the six following points: a.) their Names; b.) their Nature; c.) their Authority; d.) the Evangelical compared with other Cycles; e.) Assaults on them; f.) their Apologetic Worth.-The book is neatly bound in muslin." "This is a work of great learning, evincing also on the part of the author, much thought and reflection. He draws very largely from the Fathers of the Church, both for his opinions and elucidae tions, and to a Churchman especially, it is possessed of much interest and many attractions. The style is clear and nervous, and the writer evidently fond of literary and theological research, whos mind seems to have been fuily and intensely occupied with the subject. He states his opinions boldly' and is not ashamed to acknowledge the different sources whence they are derived. He has, in the amount of intelligence he has condensed and communicated in this volume, been of great assistance to the lovers of sacred lore, and the subject which he has chosen for discussion is of itself of so imposing a character, as to command in his readers their fixed interest and attention. Some have considered this work as unequalled on this subject.” "The book contains a preliminary essay on the names of miracles; the miracles and nature; the authority of the miracle; the evangelical compared with other cycles of miracles; the assaults on the miracles, and the apologetic worth of the miracles. "The miracles of our Saviour are then treated of in their order, commencing with the Water made Wine at Cana, and concluding with the second Miraculous Draught of Fishes; thirty-three in number. is "That this part of the Sacred History is the legitimate theme of a work, such as this claims to be, apparent. Christ's Miracles form a distinct feature of the history of his mission upon earth. It is that feature of his public life which attracts the attention of the world, and challenges the closest scrutiny. If this scrutiny succeeds in proving their genuineness, the claims of Jesus as the Saviour of the world are for ever established; since when once proved genuine, they are miracles to us, precisely as much as to those who with their own eyes looked upon them. "In the treatment of these subjects the author makes a critical examination of the text, illustrated with copious notes, so as to place before the reader a full exposition of all the circumstances attending the miracle. The practical as well as general design of such a miracle is also fully pointed out, so that the reader is put in posession of the scope and bearing of this part of the work of our Saviour considered by itself. "To the full understanding of the New Testament such a treatise as this would seem necessary, and the book will undoubtedly be found a welcome aid to the Biblical student the Sabbath School teacher, and the general reader." |
