1890. From the Introduction: The first part of this volume is composed of a series of Articles which were written at the request of the editor of The Century Magazine, and have lately been published in that periodical. They have now been carefully revised and somewhat enlarged. The additions do not cover a great deal of space, but they will contribute, as I hope, to the better elucidation of the subject. The concluding portion of the volume comprises a number of Essays on important topics in New Testament criticism which are briefly touched upon in the preceding chapters.
