things in it to stir his blood. Too many times charges made against Christians by the Jews prove to be well founded. A Christian writing the history can find many most vio lent attacks of Jews upon their own people who have become Christians. Whenever the hostility has moder ated, exciting periods o f convergence and exchange have occurred. Coming to doctrinal issues, the author points out the tenacity of the Jew to his Old Testament Scriptures, and the necessity of any Christian’s argument to demonstrate his theses from those Scriptures. Unfortu nately the number who can handle the Old Testament intelligently in this argument are not many. It is the dispensationalist who has the advan tage here, we believe. But even with this background, it takes special training to conduct the “ conversa tion” with sufficient validity to hold the interest and respect of the trained Jew. This book will help to point out the issues that have to be faced in any such exercise. — xiv, 208 pages; cloth; Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York; $5.00.
