He has also written a biography of his colleague, the eminent Professor C. E. Luthardt, and monographs on the deity of Christ and the doctrine of justification. The present work, for which his previous studies have so well equipped him, was occasioned by the very insistent attempts made by extreme liberal theologians of Germany to have the Creed omitted from ecclesiastical and ritual usage. The results which he reached are novel in one respect, in that instead of deriving the Creed from the New Testament, he regards it, in essence and partly in form, anterior to the earliest document contained in that body of wri tings, indeed in numerous cases controlling the form of expression therein. While there is in the United States no such polemic need for a work like this as exists in Germany, the painstaking study and the very interesting issue to which the book comes will, it is hoped, justify the publication.
