BOOK NOTES

 

The Living Bible, which is a paraphrased translation, has had a phenomenal reception, and we have been tardy in offering it to our readers. We are now using it in family devotions, reading it through from “kiver to kiver,” and the kids just love it. The entire Bible in beautiful binding is 9.95, the New Testament is only 2.95.

For only 2.95 in paperback you can have The Christian Church and the Old Testament. The author is A. A. van Ruler, a Dutchman, who contends that the church cannot afford to neglect the Old Testament as it tends to do. He sees the cross anticipated by the sacrifices of the Old Testament, and to ignore this and other types is to make the New Testament abstract. He argues for the unity of the Testaments, and you’ll especially appreciate his long chapter on Does the Old Testament see Christ?

This journal is available in monthly bundle orders at ten cents each, which means that 10.00 will bring you 10 copies a month for a year. It is well to have copies on hand to pass along. Loose back copies are now 20 cents each or 6 for 1.00. If you are a new reader and would like a sampling of back numbers over the past 6 or 8 years, you can order 12 for 2.00. Bound volumes are 3.00 each, and we still have one for each year since 1966, except the 1971 and 1972 will constitute one double volume, available early in 1973. There will be but 500 of these, so you should join others and place your order now. You will be billed when the book is mailed to you.

The Seventh Annual Unity Forum will be held at Cupertino Church of Christ, San Jose, Ca., July 6-8. Write Jim Reynolds, 10601 N. Blaney Ave., Cupertino, Ca. 95014.
