A d d r e sse s on Homans By Louis T. Talbot The Second Edition of this title is now sent forth by the Chancellor of Talbot Theological Seminary and the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. “No portion of the sacred writings is more appropriate for our times than Paul’s Epistle to the Romans.

Coming in the train of his Bible Cameos and Bible Pinnacles we have here a third in the series of homilies or sermonettes on Bible characters in both the Old and New Testaments. The divisions are aptly worded and could prove a useful guide to the young preacher on how to divide texts and Scripture portions. In addition to the index a combined Scripture in dex for Cameos, Pinnacles, and Treas ures has been provided. 182 pages; cloth; Marshall, Morgan & Scott, London; 8 shillings, 6 pence. H eb r ew s: The Ep istle of W arn ing By John Owen The writings of John Owen on the Epistle to the Hebrews have been read with profit for nearly 300 years. One of the greatest of the sixteenth century Puritan divines of England, he wrote a seven-volume commentary on Hebrews. This verse-by-verse sin gle volume exposition adequately pre sents the author’s thought on the epistle. The solid scholarship and deep reverence of the writer puts into the hands of the modem reader a valuable help in studying Hebrews. 383 pages; cloth; Kregel Publications, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $3.00. The Ind escriba b le Christ By Charles J. Rolls This book is subtitled The Names and Titles of Jesus Christ and is the most exhaustive of any of the books on this subject thus far seen by this reviewer. The work is marked by a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures and complete loyalty to them. Some eighty titles are discussed in seven chapters. A Scripture reference index would have improved the book. 215 pages; cloth; Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $2.50. Eph esians The Shepherd Psalm We have called attention in these columns earlier to the republishing of the works of F. B. Meyer. Thèse four books are brief but pungent, all bearing the author’s earmarks of viv idness of language, deep feeling and careful analysis. Ephesians discusses “ Key Words of the Inner Life.” The Shepherd Psalm is an exposition of the Twenty-third Psalm. The third title deals with common-place experi- Som e S ecrets of Christian Living The P r e sen t T en ses of the B le ssed Life
