RECENT THEOLOGICAL LITERATURE RECENT THEOLOGICAL LITERATURE RECENT THEOLOGICAL LITERATURE 951 951 951 ture.' In fact, the striking and valuable feature of Dr. Schlatter's essay is the vast amount of historical evidence he manages to find in the Palestinian literature of the second century that directly bears on his subject.-Dr. Foss writes the biography of a Gallican archbishop of the ninth century, throwing some interesting sidelights on the political and religious condition of France in those days. Agobard is to him one of the early staunch defenders of the Gallican liberties as opposed to the first encroachments of the Roman popes.-A. J. RAMAKER. Die Gegenreformation in Karlsbad. Nach den Quellen dargestellt. Von Dr. Karl Ludwig. (Prag: H. Dominicus, I897; pp. 48; M. i.) The interest of this brief study is chiefly local. One learns from it, indeed, how the Lutheran preachers were expelled from Karlsbad, how the Roman Catholic priests were brought into the places thus made vacant, and how the people became reconciled to the change; and he may accept the small picture as typical of similar processes which went on in a thousand other places, and may thus gain some conception of the entire movement in the German empire to destroy Protestantism. But this general view may be obtained by other and better means. The work of Dr. Ludwig has been chiefly to copy his materials from the city records and to print them without change, only introducing here and there a few connecting and explanatory sentences of his own. The German is thus left in all its antique quaintness.-FRANKLIN JOHNSON.
