SEVENTH EDITION.

THE LIFE AND WORK OF ST. PAUL.

By the REV. CANON FARRAR, D.D., F.R.S.,

Author of "The Life of Christ," &c. Two Volumes, demy 8vo, cloth, 24s.; or morocco, £2 2s.

"Regarding the work as a whole, it is difficult to exaggerate the completeness with which he has accomplished his difficult task."-Standard.

"Canon Farrar, in drawing this expressive and animated portraiture of the Apostle of the Gentiles, has laid all classes of Christians under obligations." -Daily News.

"The great Apostle to the Gentiles is brought before the reader in clear and definite outlines, while the background of the portrait has been filled in with a minuteness of picturesque and scholarly detail which few living writers could have compassed."-Globe.

"Few will peruse these volumes with attention without finding themselves materially helped in tracing the Apostle's arguments, and grasping his meaning.

The description of the whole scene of the conversion is magnificent. We know not where we could point to a more characteristic example of Dr. Farrar's graphic power.

The real excellences of the book are such as to warrant our recommending its careful study to those who desire to obtain an adequate view of the moral grandeur and complex variety of the Apostle's character, and of the extent and fruitfulness of his labours, as well as of the circumstances by which he was surrounded, and by which his inner man was formed."-Guardian.

"Full honour must be given to the author of this book for the diligence with which he has accumulated the vast mass of information to be found in these volumes, and for the enthusiasm with which he has fulfilled his selfallotted task."--Record.

"Of the laborious diligence with which the author has worked at the enormous literature of the subject, it is impossible to speak too highly, and the material which he has amassed has been woven together with the greatest skill. It is undeniable that a book of this kind was greatly needed." -The Academy.

"The main design of these two full and elaborate volumes will commend itself to every student of Holy Scripture."-Saturday Review.

"From beginning to end his work is distinguished by a rare independence of judgment and originality of conception, by a colourless, calm, and judicial impartiality."-Examiner.

"There is everywhere a studied reverence and a careful setting forth of conclusions precious to the hearts of thousands."-Spectator.

"The theme is evidently congenial; and the author has thrown himself into it with all the energy and ability of his nature."-Athenæum.

"No attentive reader will rise from the perusal of these pages without feelings of admiration for the great work here done in the interest of Christian literature by Canon Farrar."-Graphic.

He has brought to the illustration of his magnificent theme the resources of copious learning, wide and discriminating research, and a sound and temperate judgment.' New York Tribune.

"For a task of this kind no writer of our time is so well equipped as Canon Farrar."-New York Evening Post.

"When one has thoroughly realised the vast and unwearied labour expended in laying the foundations for this work, one is compelled to admire more and more the genius which has been able so effectually to mould it."- Nonconformist.

"We must congratulate the author on a work which is not only his literary chef-d'œuvre, but is also out of sight the best English work of its class.' British Quarterly Review.

"This is a very noble attempt to portray the great Apostle as he was, to gather together the events of his outer with the thoughts of his inner life."Christian World.

"A vivid picture of one of the greatest men that ever lived, a picture calculated to warm the heart and influence the life, a book easy to read, Methodist difficult to lay down.". Recorder.

"A splendid production of genius, consecrated to the highest cause and the noblest aim."-Christian Age.

"No story, perhaps, is more striking in its episodes, more impressive in its contrasts, or more important in its results."-Scotsman.

"The author has carried his purpose into effect with a zeal, reverence, and scholarly power of investigation and expression which has never been excelled in Biblical history."-Irish Times.

"His book will be of unspeakable value to the student, and the general reader will find it not less interesting and useful."-Manchester Examiner.

"Dr. Farrar will for ever take his
place among the masters in English
theology,' and 'the classic preachers of
the English Church.'"-Watchman.
