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. Only 3.00. Please place your order now, but you need not pay now.

Resources of Power (1966 bound volume) and Things That Matter Most (1967) are now available at 3.00 each.

Let us remind you that you can receive this journal for only $1.00 a year or six names for only $3.00.
