THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THEOLOGY THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THEOLOGY seeker after God existed of whom the old adage was true, pecus est quod theologum facit, it was the patriarch of Uz. To get at the deep problems of his soul, therefore, and to solve them, we must take note, not of the intellect alone, but of all the powers of life, in their free play and expression, and of all the feelings that wreak themselves in poetic thought and image. Short of this the true coloring, the vital emphasis, the key-word, are not found. Among the charisms enumerated by St. Paul was one with the very interesting name, "the discerning of spirits." It is a charism much needed by any whose interpretative study leads them to those regions of thought and experience where the deep heart of man and the chastening spirit of God meet. We accord hearty acknowledgment to the labor and the conscientious care that have gone to the making of this book; we cannot speak so highly of the tissue of the thought, which seems to us lacking in clear-cut definition and focus; gravest fault of all, it is only in very imperfect degree that the author has discerned the vital spirit of the book of Job.
