THE FIFTEEN BOOKS MOST INDISPEN SABLE FOR THE MINISTER OR CHRISTIAN WORKER For several years the Committee having in charge the publication of “T he F undamentals ” has been endeavoring to get a list of the five most indispensable books for the minister and the Christian worker, and the ten and the fifteen and the twenty-five. They have been in correspondence with various leaders in Christian thought on both sides of the water. I t was hoped that a comparison and combination of all the answers could be made, but the replies have been so divergent that this has been impossible. We are, therefore, giving here nine dif ferent lists sent, classifying the books in the order of their importance according to the various persons furnishing the lists. The other lists submitted were not classified or specific. List o f Rev. W. J. Erdmatij D. D.: Best Five: “The Divine Unity of the Scripture,” Adolph Saphir.
