effect a combination encyclopedia of the Bible and of religion. Heavy emphasis is placed on theological doctrines. Some examples of the treatment can be gleaned from the following statistics on the amount of material and the contributors on some subjects: Angels, 11 columns, John W. Sanderson, Jr.; Antinomi- anism, 18 columns, John Murray; Baptists, 47 columns, N. Burnett Magruder and Edward H. Overby; and Bible, 18 columns, Johannes G. Vos. The doctrine of inspiration is rightly based on what the Bible has to say about itself, which estab lishes verbal and plenary inspira tion. I n e r r a n c y is, of course, claimed only for the original auto graphs. The makeup is good, the type large and readable, and the headings are in bold type. Long articles are headed with a contents outline, and bibliographies follow important ar ticles. There are no pictorial illus trations. It is planned that the last of the ten volumes shall be a biblio graphic volume, in which the most significant books on all main topics can be listed. The mastermind be hind this project is Jay Green, edi tor for the recently-published Chil dren’s King James Bible and its companions, the Teen - age King James and the Modern King James. Learned journals are drawn upon for material by the contributors and there is a list of abbreviations at the front for between two and three hundreds of these. — 662 pages; c l o t h ; National Foundation for Christian Education, Box 2211, Wil mington, Del.; $15.00 per vol.

The Christian and Missionary Al liance is chronicled in this fascinat ing story of 75 years o f ministry around the earth. In 1887 the Alli ance began its work, although A. B. Simpson had experienced the burden of missions in 1881. Few organiza tions have tackled missionary work on a more primitive level, or been more severely attacked by Satan. The book is divided into sections covering Africa, Asia, South Ameri ca, the islands of the sea, the Middle East, and the home ministry. Take the Ivory Coast, for instance. There the Alliance now has 154 organized churches, all self-supporting, a bap tized membership of 6,000, and 150 u n o r g a n i z e d churches, Sunday schools, Bible schools, etc. As in every place, there is strong emphasis on the indigenous church, a native hymnody, and similar reports come from Gabon, the Congo, and Upper Volta (now Mali). In Viet Nam, as the newspapers have told us, three Alliance men were captured and car ried off into Communist hide-outs, from whom no word has been heard. The work in Peru, land of the Incas, is especially interesting, where al most unlimited opportunities exist. A good work is being done in Chile. Perhaps the most exciting story is that of West Irian (New Guinea). Doubtless this book will go down as one of the significant chronicles of modern missions.—245 pages; cloth; Christian Publications, Harrisburg, Pa.; $3.95.
