is also found wanting of “ the sim plicity and truth of the Gospel which sets forth the centrality of the cross of Jesus Christ as the way of recon ciliation and peace with God.” This work commends itself as a con cise understandable statement of the heart of Barth’s understanding of the work of God in salvation. 98 pages; cloth; Baker Book House, Grand Rap ids: $2.95 — Reviewed by Robert Sau cy, Professor, Talbot Seminary. Seldom does one see a book designed to provide daily devotional maerial for the entire year that contains so much solid food for the mind and the soul as does this one. Twelve books of the Bible are used in this collection, each expounded by a different Bible teach er. Genesis and Proverbs represent the Old Testament, while from the New Testament Luke, John, Acts, Romans, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, I Thessalonians, Hebrews, and I John are discussed. The expositors are Bi ble School faculty members and pas tors, all careful Bible students. The style is easy, and in places stimulat ing, and the thoughts are edifying and instructive. A year’s work with this book would provide a real enrichment of one’s spiritual life. iv. 316 pages; cloth; Miracle Press, St. Louis; $2.50. BESIDE STILL WATERS N. A.

Basic purpose of The Wycliffe Bible Commentary is to combine in a single volume the maximum of help to every student of the Scriptures—appealing to the layman as well as the minister, teacher and writer. In interpretation, it presents a sound, evan gelical point of view. Each book has a brief introduction, and then follows a phrase-by-phrase exposition of the text. Summaries of the major sections of each book are presented, with the main headings in outline, and thus the reader is given an overview and detailed discussion of the Scriptures at the same time. Every Christian home should have a copy!
