| BOOK NOTES |
Encounter
Between Christianity and Science is an important volume for this
technological age, for it is a testimony of men of science to their
Christian faith. Geologists, psychologists, chemists, biologists,
sociologists, and physicists show how they can be committed to the
world as well as to the Christian community. They are all Ph.D.’s
with important positions at leading institutions, and yet they
believe in the Bible as the inspired word of God and in the deity of
Christ.
This
is a reasonable and responsible piece of work. Those troubled with
the claims of evolution should read this volume. It is ideal for the
college student who supposes that if one is highly educated he can
have no real confidence in the Biblical account. 5.95
The
Religion of Ancient Israel by Th. C. Vriezen seems prohibitive at
7.50, but it is over 300 pages and in hardback, and weighty in
content. The eminent Dutch scholar presents a portrait of a people’s
religion: its institutions, its symbols and places of worship, its
prophets, its forms of life. He shows how primitive Hebrew tribes
became united in the one great religion of Israel. The fact that this
volume has appeared in several languages give testimony to the value
it will be to you who are interested in more serious study.
What’s
New in Religion? by Kenneth Hamilton is a book that fills you in
on what has been going on in the world of religious thought. It is
more than this, for it is a critical study of the New Theology, the
New Morality, and Secular Christianity. You’ll enjoy his
chapter on “Liberal and Conservative” and may be more
careful about how you use the terms. His chapter on “The
Secular Made Sacred” is also provocative. His exploration of
“Worldly Christianity” may challenge your idea of what
religion is. Only 3.95 in hardback.
You
may join our Credit Plan for the purchase of books, which enables you
to buy any book referred to in this column, or all of them, and pay
for them at the rate of 5.00 per month, or ten percent of the
balance, whichever is greater. No carrying charges. Just order what
you want, tell us to charge it, and we’ll bill you each month
for 5.00.
This
enables you to buy larger orders and pay for them easily. We will,
for instance, send you all bound volumes of Mission Messenger for
3.00 single volumes, 3.50 for double volumes, or the full set of
Barclay’s Daily Bible Study (17 volumes, 39.50). Or you
can get 2 volume set of Millennial Harbinger (a selection of
the best of Campbell’s writings through 40 volumes) for 9.50.
We even have Kittell’s Theological Dictionary of the New
Testament in our Credit Plan. There are now five volumes and
average 22.00 a volume.
Our
two booklets on Alexander Campbell are still available at only 50
cents each. These are Alexander Campbell: The Man and His Mission,
by Louis Cochran and Leroy Garrett; and Alexander Campbell and
Thomas Jefferson: a Comparative Study of Two Old Virginians, by
Leroy Garrett.
We
still have copies of what we think is Carl Ketcherside’s best
writing on unity and fellowship. These are Agape: Foundation of
Christian Fellowship and The Ground of Christian Fellowship.
These are lengthy treatments in old editions of Restoration
Review. 35 cents each.
Can
We Understand? is a sermon by Robert Meyers recently published in
Restoration Review, but now available in booklet form at 15
cents each, or 12 for 1.00. Many of our readers are passing these
along to a friend or slipping them into letters. It slips up on one’s
racial prejudice. Pass a few of these along as a gesture toward
better racial relations. You can easily do so in the name of Him who
taught us that in the one New Man there is neither White or Black.
We have back copies of Restoration Review at only 15 cents each or 8 for 1.00. More important are our two bound volumes for 1966 and 1967, at 3.00 each. These are with colorful dust jacket, table of contents, and a special introduction. The supply is limited.

This 1968 edition (Volume 10) of Restoration Review will be issued in bound volume, entitled “The Quest of God.” 200 pages, plus introduction and index, with colorful dust jacket, matching the earlier volumes.
