BOOK NOTES

 

I have recently read again both volumes of Robert  Richardson's The Memoirs of Alexander Campbell, and I found it more exciting than the times before. It is rich in Americana as well as facts about our church history. The description of Walter Scott, for instance, makes marvelous reading, especially when one realizes that the author studied under Scott when a boy. You should get a copy while it is yet in print. We can send you one for $23.95 postpaid.

Loving God With All Your Mind by Gene Edward Veith, Jr. is a book one should read if he is suspicious of educated people, or if he is educated and is inclined to look down on those who are not. It says that the right kind of education is to recognize that God is the Lord of all life, and that everything in life is to be evaluated in terms of what that means. You will like the chapter on "Daniel at the University of Babylon." $7.50 postpaid.

We have a fresh supply of F. F. Bruce's crowning work, Paul: Apostle of the Heart Set Free, which we can send you for $20.95 postpaid. Bruce is not only a scholar whose writings are forceful and informative, but he writes with heart. When you read his chapter on "Paul and the Athenians," you may suppose you were there with Paul on the Areopagus.

There are 2300 significant words in the New Testament, and all these are treated in "Kittle," as the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament is often called. You may study all these words in the massive nine- volume, 8,420-page set, or you can now get the concise one-volume, 1,400-page edition, which treats all the 2300 words with less detail. And instead of $375.00 for the set, the one-volume edition is only $49.95. You do not have to know Greek to use it.
