Messiah: His First Coming Scheduled By DAVID L. COOPER A livin g history o f Israel, a defensible O ld T e s t a m e n t chronicle, and a keen analysis o f H ebraic eschatology in a sin gle compendium : H aving begun, one dare not skip a page. The author, exceptionally suited to the task, is to be high ly com plimented fo r his patient investigation coverin g many years, fo r his persistent seeking of truth in libraries and am ong monuments o f many lands, and fo r the pleasing presentation o f cum brous facts, figures and faces, enabling the reader to pick fru it on every page. The view advanced, that the pentateu- chal, literary com position includes récords kept by Adam, Noah, Shem, Isaac, Jacob, and others, in our judgm ent, does not invalidate either its Mosaic authorship pr divine inspiration. Both are care fu lly protected by the author. Dr. Coop er’s suggestion that, the ten “ toledhoth,” “ these are the generations,” o f Genesis are subtitular rather than titular, though reversing the generally accepted opinion, has much in its favor. In chronology, Anstey’s “ R omance of Bible C hronology,” highly commended by G. Campbell Morgan, is-follow ed with the ad d ed . feature o f a sabbatic scheme of the divided kingdom . This volum e is a rich find fo r either Jew or Gentile interested in Old T esta ment truth. 555 pages. Biblical Research Society, 4417 B erenice Ave., Los Angeles, Calif. Cloth. P rice $2.00.
