Literary Intelligence.

Preliminary Remark. With this number a beginning is made of a
regularly continued list of newly published theological writings. We
therefore preface it with the following explanation. From the
standpoint of Church-Contemporary-History, in order to remain within
the bounds of what lies nearest to us, we shall announce the
following works:

1. from American theological literature, both translations of German
works and original works appearing within the Lutheran Church, as
well as influential and characteristic works of other denominations.

2. from the theological literature of Germany, all works published
within the past year which, by their content, or by their rapid
sale, or by the standing of their authors, warrant the assumption
that they will not remain without influence in the Church.

3. both theological works not included in the above which are of
extraordinary significance, and notable non-theological works which
either are especially suited to serve the Church — that is,
philological, pedagogical, and similar works — or which lay
particular claim to the interest of the theologian, for example in a
polemical respect.

From what has been said it is clear — though we wish at the same
time expressly to emphasize it here — that from the notice no
approval whatsoever of the content of the books is to be inferred.
Those works which we are able to subject to a closer examination
will, as before, be reviewed under a separate heading.
