(Revell) $1.25. New B iblical Guide, by John Urqu- h art. The “New Biblical Guide” has been out of p rin t for some time, but in making these classics in the field of Biblical research once more available to the Christian public, the. publish ers have rendered an invaluable ser vice to th e Church of Christ. The works of Rev. John U rquhart, charac terized as they are by sound exegesis, ripe scholarship, profound erudition and deep spirituality, need little in tro duction. A lthough w ritten a number of years ago, th e conclusions of the au th o r have been confirmed by later investigation and discovery, so th a t modern research only complements his findings. If studied w ith an open mind, they will solve many of the problems raised by modern critics, and will be found invaluable to every studen t of Scripture who desires to be fully equipped to “ defend the faith .” (W.
