Books on the parables of Scripture are many. Here is a fresh attack upon the pictorial and symbolic language of the Bible very nearly justifying the claim on the jacket — “the most important new work in this field in nearly 100 years.” The author shows fam iliarity with the literature on the parables and his work is careful and painstaking. His sanely dispensational approach w ill be appreciated by those who have missed it in the standard works on the parables. 400 pages; cloth; Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., Grand Rapids, M ich.; $3.50. Edersheim’s Warburton Lectures from 1880-1884, here reprinted in the Co-operative Reprint Library, cover many Old Testament subjects in which the author specialized. For ex ample, he discusses the origin of Christianity in the Old Testament, the spiritual element in prophecy, the Messianic idea in the later stages of Israel’s history and the place of John the Baptist in prophetism. 391 pages; cloth; Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, M ich.; $3.75. The author sets out to compare and contrast the temple of Solomon with the tabernacle in the wilderness, and the reader w ill agree that a richness of spiritual truth is developed in the process. Much research has gone into the preparation of this work and it will be useful for comparison to those studying the more fam iliar taber nacle. 156 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chicago, 111.; $3.00. This is the exciting account of the travels of Joy Ridderhof, Ann Sher wood and the author through Africa in the work of Gospel Recordings. T h e r e a d e r l e a r n s how records through simple phonographs pene trate where missionaries would find it impossible to go. Here is a challen ging missionary book. 188 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chicago, 111.; $2.50.
