Revell’s Striking List OF THI S SEASON ’S IMPOR T AN T BOOKS
Revelation and Inspiration B y B. B. W arfield
This volume contains a group of studies which have appeared in various periodicals and books. It deals, first, with the Biblical idea of revelation, then discusses various theories of revelation and inspiration. Dr. Warfield probes down deep to find the real problem of inspiration, and he gives abundant proof that there is sufficient and reliable evidence for the Biblical doctrine of a God-inspired Scripture. Inspiration is found to be not a hazy and human thing but the. working of God through human agents to produce a reliable record. Ver bal inspiration, rightly understood, is dis covered to be the most accurate and the most reasonable explanation of the prob lem. This volume will be a splendid anti dote to the literature'that liberal criticism has been putting out in recent years, and which has been undermining the faith of Christians in the Word of God. The book is learned, but not too technical for the average reader. 456 pages. Oxford Uni versity Press. Cloth. Price $3.00. — o— The Quest of Experience in Worship B y E d w in H . B y in g t o n In many of our churches too little at tention has been paid to worship. Dr. By ington sketches the various modes of wor ship accepted in Christendom, and ana lyzes each in a sympathetic and under standing spirit. . With his analysis he couples a careful, constructive treatment of the problems of worship in the modern church, calculated for the needs of the average man. His suggestions are not radical, though some of them are novel; and most of them are helpful. Especially good is his treatment of the use of hymns in worship. The book will be a beneficial stimulus to those preachers who take the Order of Service for granted. 211 pages. Richard R. Smith, Inc. Price $2.00. Dr. Biederwolf gives ten forceful and convincing arguments supporting his claim that the Bible is the Word of God. He first presents the testimony of Christ to the Scriptures which alone should be sufficient for the reverent believer. There is added the testimony of the book itself and its remarkable history, the testimony of fulfilled prophecy, the testimony of the human heart, and the testimony of good men. Difficulties are not dodged nor are the critics left unanswered. The studies are brief but packed with solid meat. They will shake the foundations of skeptics and stimulate the faith of believers. 161 pages. Pentcostal Publishing Co. Cloth. Price $1.25. — o— The Lord Trieth the Righteous Psalm 11:5 Trials make the promise sweet; Trials give new life to prayer; Trials bring me to His feet, Lay me low, and keep me there. —Life of. Faith.
