Much Scripture is used, and the com ments would be of great help and stimu lation to the disheartened. 248 pages. W. A. Wilde Company, Boston, Mass. Cloth. $2.50.

By DONALD G. DAVIS, Ph.D. Head of the Church History Department of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles
THE DAWN OF WORLD REDEMPTION By Erich Sauer The first two books to be reviewed in these columns this month are the 'work of one of the leaders among the [Plymouth] Brethren in Germany, head of the Bible School at Wiedenest. A real appreciation of the dispensational as pects of the Word of God characterizes his presentation—the two volumes pro vide an admirable text for an advanced course in dispensational truth. This book has the subtitle, “ A Survey of Historical Revelation in the Old Testa ment.” The unfolding of God’s ways with man is fascinating, and the care fully outlined sections enable the stu dent of Bible truth to retain what he has learned. Both the pulpit and the pew will welcome these two books. 206 pages. The Paternoster Press, London, England. Cloth. $3.00. THE TRIUMPH OF THE CRUCIFIED By Erich Sauer This volume, subtitled “ A Survey of Historical Revelation in the New Tes tament,” carries on the author’s work on the Old Testament, reviewed above. The life and work of Christ, the Church of the firstborn ones, and the doctrine of the last things are here presented in a format which challenges study and sustains interest. Ninety outlines of Biblical messages are a feature of the work. Scripture indexes would have en hanced the value of both books, but even without this aid, here is an indis pensable Bible study tool. 207 pages. The Paternoster Press, London, Eng land. Cloth. $3.00.
