The Creed of a Christian. By Charles Gore, M.A. (Thomas

Hibberd.) — Canon Gore has republished, with some changes and additions, a series of papers that originally appeared in the Goodwill magazine. They give a terse, forcible explanation of the doctrines of the Christian faith in their bearing on practical life. "Why and how is a man better for believing the Creed P" is a question which unsatisfied inquirers will always be asking. Here is a lucid, and we should hope satisfying, answer. It would be unfair to separate this or that sentence as indicating Canon Gore's view of one doctrine or another. The whole must be taken together, and a very good religio theologi it is.
