the New Testament. — 340 pages; cloth; Harper & Row, New York; $7.95. BOOK END S_______ (A Review of Current Publications) CHRIST AND THE POWERS by H. Berkhof. 62 pages; paper; Herald Press, Scottsdale, Pa.; $1.25. There is not too much written on this subject. The author digs deeply into it, and comes up with some worthwhile suggestions. The fact that a first-class theologian is willing to do this is significant, and is a sign of the weight of the present Biblical theology movement. APOSTLE EXTRAORDINARY: A MODERN POR TRAIT OF ST. PAUL by Reginald E. O. White. 209 pages; cloth; Wm. B. Eerdmans Pub. Co., Grand Rapids; $3.50. One might call this a theological portrait of the Apostle. His character is examined as a basis for his thought, but it is only one of those bases. New knowledge on Paul has been employed. LET'S BUILD AN EVANGELISTIC CHURCH! by Jack Hyles. 144 pages; paper over boards; Sword of the Lord Publishers, Wheaton, III.; $2.50. A book for the busy pastor and church staff. Contains many practical suggestions based upon experience. THE POWER OF CHRISTLIKE LIVING by Leslie B. Flynn. 127 pages: cloth; Zondervan Pub. House, Grand Rapids; $2.50. Taking eleven traits of Christ as bases, the author develops New Testament Christianity on the living level. The Gospels, Paul's Epistles, and Charles Sheldon's In His Steps are drawn on largely. DIALOGUE IN ROMANTIC LOVE by Prentiss L. Pemberton. 64 pages; paper; Judson Press, Valley Forge, Pa.; $1.00. Rejecting five non- Christian philosophies of "romantic love" (ex ploiting, promiscuous, inconstant, sophisticated, and pledged) the author goes on to develop a love based on Biblical revelation designed to end when two become "one flesh." This he terms a "deepening dialogue." The first two stages are friendly dating and then serious dating. A good deal of sound counsel goes into this work. NONE OF THESE DISEASES by S. I. McMillen. 158 pages; cloth; Fleming H. Reveil Co.; $2.95. The author is a Christian physician connected with Houghton College. The book is a series of twenty-six messages on as many physical and psychosomatic ailments that can be influenced by a person — either toward or away from himself. The chapter on the adrenalin gland is entitled "Cats and Crocodiles." This is a book for the layman. LOST LEGENDS OF ISRAEL by Dagobert D. Runes. 90 pages; cloth; Philosophical Library, New York; $2./5. The second edition of a little work of considerable interest) recording tales not normally available in literature of the West ern World. THEOLOGY AND THE CURE OF SOULS by Frederic Greeyes. 180 pages; cloth; Channel Press, Manhasset, N.Y.; $3.75. The book con stitutes The Cato Lecture delivered in 1960. Rather than a manual of pastoral theology, the book is an essay on the relationship between Christian doctrine and pastoral care. The author is a British Methodist. Wesley's "fe lt" convic tion of assurance he would like to make intel lectual based on faith, but he wants to develop a "full salvation" conviction for mental health.

The Fields at Home Compiled, and edited by Peter F. Gunther
This is the first comprehensive sur vey of all major phases of missionary work as carried on in the fifty states. Denominational and independent mis sions are included. The twenty chap ters are written by experts in the various areas covered. Among the groups discussed are the American In dian, the Negro, Spanish-speaking people, the Jews, Mormons, rural peo ple, hobo work, and prison evangel ism. A number of illustrations en hance the volume. For thirteen years the editor has been Assistant Direc tor of Moody Literature Mission, and has traveled widely over the various fields. He is a graduate of Biola and Wheaton College. 283 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chicago; $4.50. This is an unusual combination of what one usually finds in several vol umes — a history of how the Bible came into being, how archeology has illuminated and corroborated it, and how writing and printing developed through the centuries. These themes are all wrapped together neatly by a simple yet carefully prepared text, and 223 illustrations, many of which are full-page. The author is reluctant to carry the history of human civi lization back more than 6000 years before Christ (he places the flood at about 400 B.C.), and he sees Egypt’s verifiable history as beginning only about 300 B.C. He warns against drawing the conclusion that the whole Bible is to be confirmed by science or archaeology, and makes bold to say, “ Essentially the Bible is neither a historical nor a scientific textbook. It is an account of God’s dealing with man, and in the final analysis, its truths spring from faith” (p. 16). Modern versions and the Dead Sea Scrolls come in for adequate treat ment. Here one sees (and in no other place has the reviewer seen this) the stretching of the leaves of the Codex Sinaiticus in preparation for binding, and the picture of the bound volumes of this most precious manuscript of 6000 Years of the Bible By G. S. Wegner
