Praise for the Print Edition

Professor James Orr of Glasgow, who is one of the profoundest and best read of biblical scholars, and perhaps the ablest defender of conservative views in biblical criticism is the author of a volume entitled The Bible under Trial which makes a strong appeal to clergy and laity alike by its ripe scholarship and forceful and simple style.
