BOOK NOTES

 

The publisher of Voices of Concern has announced that the supply will soon be gone. We are down to our last 25 copies in this office. This book will not and cannot be republished. They are 3.50 on a first come, first served basis. To those not acquainted with this controversial volume need only be told that it is a collection of critical essays on Church of Christism, edited by Robert Meyers, minister, Riverside Church of Christ, Wichita.

The Child’s Story Bible by Catherine Vos is a large, handsome volume that you will be pleased to own for your children. The pictures are in vivid color and modern. There are 97 stories interestingly told, ranging from How the World Began to The Visions of the Apostle John. Here is an effective way to entertain children while teaching them—and learning something yourself while you are at it! It is a bargain at 6.50.

The Jerusalem Bible is more than the Bible itself, for it contains the Apocrypha as well, along with some of the most valuable notes of interpretation that you will find anywhere. It is a handsome volume and would make an ideal gift for one who appreciates having different translations. One will cost you around 20.00 most places, but while they last our price is 15.00, which you can pay in three payments of 5.00 each.

The Hazard of the Die by James R. Wilburn, is the story of Tolbert Fanning and the Restoration Movement. This book will show you how Fanning was as big as the frontier America that produced him. He established two colleges and five periodicals, along with being an evangelist and farmer. He was a companion of Alexander Campbell as well as his stern critic. He was among the first in our history to catch the vision of the unity of all believers, and this book will cause you to love him for that. Above all this it is a book in Americana, taking you to our early frontier life, the nightmare of the Civil War, and the era of reconstruction. 4.95 in hardback.

We still have 30 or 40 copies of The Lord’s Supper by Warren Lewis for only 1.00. It seems that some imperfect copies got in circulation, for a few have been returned. If your copy has the pages out of order, return it to us and we’ll send another.

Situation Ethics has by now been sufficiently talked about that you may be ready to do some quiet reading on the subject. We suggest Situation Ethics by Joseph Fletcher (1.95), followed by The Situation Ethics Debate, edited by Harvey Cox. (1.95) The latter is a collection of reactions from mothers, students, ministers, scholars, along with reviews in many journals. Then a reply from Fletcher.
