“in the yet unpublished scrolls that is of revolutionary import.” While he recognizes that the time is not yet to make final conclusions there are trends that can be outlined and his torical associations that can be made from the newer materials. The most significant contribution of this volume is its inventory of man uscripts or “catalogue of the library of Qumran,” and the author’s discus sion of the implications of the various documents for Old Testament textual criticism. There is emerging a new appreciation for the Greek Septuagint and yet there are confirmations of the validity of the standard masoretic text that has been in use for so many centuries. The book is technical at points and yet should not he beyond the average seminary graduate who has studied the original languages. There is a good index and a number of plates. The author is on the faculty of Harvard Divinity School. 196 pages; cloth; Doubleday & Co., Gar den City, N.Y.; $4.50. Family A ltar Readings By B. P.
