Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Methodist Magazine, and Quarterly Review, 1833, Vol. 15 To what extent Biblical literature is cultivated in Scotland, we know not; but it is a remarkable fact, that the Scottish Church has never produced an entire commentary on the sacred books for the work of Brown cannot lay claim to that title. It is pious and edifying; but is destitute of all pretensions to learning and criticism and was never designed to give satisfaction to the student on points of difliculty. Doctors Campbell and Macknight are the only divines belonging to the Church of Scotland that have been distinguished as Biblical critics and commentators. The merit of each was of a high order; although Macknight is not entitled to unqualified commendation. As a critic he has seldom been equalled; but on some doctrinal subjects he is an unsafe guide. It is pleasing to witness the assiduity with which sacred literature is cultivated by a few excellent men in America. Within the last few years they have published several elementary works adapted to the use of the Biblical and theological student. Few of these, indeed, are original compositions but they are translated and abridged with great judgment from European writers, especially those of Germany. The principal of these works which have come under our notice are, The Elements of Biblical Theology, from Flatt and Starr; vviner's Greek Grammar of the New Testament; Stuart's Hebrew Grammar Robinson's translation of Wahl's Greek Lexicon Upham's translation of Jahn's Biblical Archaeology Stuart's trans lation of the Epistle to the Hebrews, with valuable prolegomena and notes and Harris' Natural History of the Bible. Some of these works have been reprinted in England and all of them are justly en titled to that distinction.
