BIBLIOGRAPHY

MOFFATT, JAS. _”Internat. Theol. Library” Series._ Scribner's, 1911.

Standard, comprehensive, progressive. Best compendium of the subject in English. A book for experts. 671 pp., 8vo.

JuLICHER, A. Engl. transl, by D. A. Ward, from 4th German ed.

London, Smith, Elder & Co., 1903. The most serviceable of modern German Introductions, based on the standard work of the ”liberal”

school, by H. J. Holtzmann. 650 pp., large 8vo.

ZAHN, THEO. Engl. transl. from 3rd German ed., by M. W. Jacobus.

Scribner's, 1909. Standard ”conservative” work. Immense scholars.h.i.+p in the harness of apologetics. Total, 1750 pp., in 3 vols., large 8vo.

BACON, B. W. _”New Test. Handbook” Series._ Macmillan 1900. Similar to Moffatt's in standpoint, but without the survey of the literature. For readers less technically advanced. 300 pp., small 8vo.

PEAKE, A. S. N.Y., Scribner's, 1910. 250 pp., 12mo. An excellent primer of the subject, generally conservative.

2. Critical Treatments of Pauline Literature.

SHAW, R. D. _The Pauline Epistles, Introductory and Expository Studies_, 2nd ed. T. & T. Clarke, 1904. 518 pp., large 8vo. Sober and cautious. For general readers.

RAMSAY, W. M. _Pauline and other Studies in Early Christian History._ Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. 425 pp., large 8vo. _The Cities of St. Paul_ (1907, 468 pp.) is by the same author, an eminent geographer and archaeologist ardently enlisted against German criticism. Interesting but diffuse.

PFLEIDERER, O. _Paulinism._ Engl. transl. by E. Peters. 2nd ed.

1891. Williams & Norgate. 2 vols. 8vo. Total, 580 pp., 8vo. Still a standard exposition of Paul's system of thought. A book for experts.

BAUR, F. C. _Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ, his Life and Work, Epistles and Doctrine._ Engl. transl. of Zeller's (2nd), German ed., by A. Menzies. Williams & Norgate, 1876. Two vols. 8vo (375 + 350 pp.). An epoch-making book, the starting-point of modern criticism.

SCHWEITZER, A. This able, though one-sided, critic has issued already (1912) the conclusion to his study of modern Lives of Christ (see below, _The Quest of the Historical Jesus_) under the t.i.tle _Geschichte der Paulinischen Forschung_. It may be expected that this comprehensive survey and searching criticism of the literature of Pauline study will soon be made accessible to the English reader.

WREDE, W. _Paul._ Engl. transl. by E. Lummis. P. Green, London, 1907. 190 pp., 12mo. A brief, brilliant, popular sketch, radical, suggestive. Needs the balance of more cautious criticism.

WEISS, J. _Paul and Jesus._ Engl. transl. by H. J. Chaytor. London and New York, Harper & Bros., 1909. 130 pp., 12mo. An effective answer to Wrede's view of Paul as the real creator of Christianity, by a progressive and able critic.

Lives of Paul by Cone, Clemen (German) and others are abundant in recent years. See the _Encyclopaedias_ and _Dictionaries of the Bible_, s.v. ”Paul.”

3. Critical Treatments of the Synoptic Gospels and Acts.
