References are in every case given to the writers or formularies under review, and their meaning is expressed, as far as possible, in their own words.

Of authorities consulted, other than those forming the direct subject of inquiry, the following deserve special mention; for the Fathers of the first three centuries, Bahrs Die Lehre der Kir die vom Tode Jesu in den ersten drei Jahrhunderten (Sulzbach, 1832), Thomasius Origenes. Ein Beitrag zur Dogmengeschichte des dritten Jahrhunderts (Niirnberg, 1837), Redepenning sOrigenes. Eine Darstelluny seines Lebens und seiner Lehre (Bonn, 1841); for the later patristic and the scholastic period especially, and partly for the Reformation, Baurs Die christliche Lehre von der Versbhnung (Tubingen, 1838); for the patristic period- generally, Petavius De Incarnatione Verbi, Thomassin De Incarnatione Verbi Dei, Fabricius De Veritate Religionis Christiana?, cap.41; and for the Reformation period Mohler sSymbolism (Robertsons Trans., London, 1843), Dollingers Die Reformation (Regensburg, 1848), vol. iii., and Newmans Lectures on Justification (Oxford, 1840). Other authorities will be men Baurs work requires to be read with caution. He is on the whole reliable as a chronicler of opinions, but with a passion for systematizing, which sometimes leads him. to give exclusive or disproportionate value to one side of a writers view, to the exclusion or neglect of others. This is particularly shown in his treatment of the Fathers.
