The next best thing, it has been said, to writing a good book, is to translate one. Whatever be the merits of the transla tion, the original of this work is assuredly a good book.

The stupendous work upon The Person of Christ has now become in Great Britain and America, what it had been in Germany from its publication, a Classic in Christology.
