this commentary is both exegetical and devotional. The plenary and verbal inspiration of the Bible is as sumed and this Epistle is seen as the great doctrinal watershed of the teachings of Paul. Nearly every verse is discussed and a list of questions fol lows each chapter. Greek expressions are transliterated. The author is a Southern Presbyterian with consider able experience on the Korean mission field, and is now pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Centreville, Alabama. He is not in the premillen- nial, dispensational tradition, but the book has much of a satisfying nature on passages where this distinction is not an issue. Chapters 9-11 are some what disappointingly handled for that reason. 235 pages; cloth; Baker Book House, Grand Rapids; $4.75.
The Gentile, a Novel By Sylvia and Henry. Lieferant Any subject or problem can become the basis for a novel, it seems. Here we have race prejudice, particularly between Jew and Gentile, which ap pears in the context of a New York concern, Gold Star Patterns. Linda Macneil, a Gentile girl finds a posi tion here and her lack of prejudice against the Jews who worked there puzzled them and their employer, Mr. Epstein. Complications, however, are required for a story, and Alma and Russ provide them. Human rela tionships in general are pointed up also in the book, which will be con sidered by some controversial in nature, but one should approach liter ature like this with the inquiring mind and withhold judgment until the end. 279 pages; cloth; Muhlen berg Press, Philadelphia; $3.50. Ideals in Medicine A Christian Approach to Medical Practice Edited by Vincent Edmunds and C. Gordon Scorer Comparatively little has been writ ten on medical ethics, still less on dis tinctly Christian medical ethics. Many problems arise in the work of the physician that call for ethical j decisions. Should a woman dying with cancer be told the truth even though her husband forbids it? Prob lems are multiplied in medical work on the mission field. This book is a | symposium of fourteen chapters, each written by a specialist in some phase of medicine. The book is aimed pri marily at medical students in their last year of training, but will be of interest to all Christian doctors. The contributors are all British. They i write with care and cite a good deal of literature. Chapters treat such sub jects as euthanasia, contraception, psychology, faith-healing, and the | like. As may be expected the general tenor of the book is on the conserva tive side. It will be found of interest j to a wide range of people. 192 pages; cloth; Christian Medical Society, 127 S. Wacker Dr., Chicago 6; $3.00. The Epistle to the Romans By Floyd E. Hamilton While based on the grammatico- historical method of interpretation, |
