Family MO BRADLEY AND THAILAND by Donald C. Lord Donald C. Lord uses a chrono- logical/topical approach to relate the impact of Daniel Beach Bradley on Thailand. His style, although per­ sonal, seems a bit pedestrian. Ac­ cording to Lord, the purpose of his study was ‘ ‘to investigate Bradley's life in order to understand him, the movement he represented, and the impact both had upon Thailand and three of its kings, Nang Klao, Mong- kut, and Chulalongkorn.” He ac­ complished his purpose well in that a study of Thailand and its kings will be made more complete by reading this book. However, at the conclusion one still does not un­ derstand Bradley who apparently gave his life for an unattainable goal [The Christianization of Thai­ land]. As this book is intended to be the f ir s t in a series, it is hoped that in future books there will be less repetition of details and bogging down of facts. How­ ever, the wealth of information pre­ sented is excellent for the serious student of missions. — 227 pages; paper; Wm.

Johnson This biographic work by a close associate of Dr. Bob Jones, Sr. for almost forty years, is divided into five parts. The first section treats of Dr. Jones’ early life. The second portion deals with the days of evan­ gelism. Educational endeavors are the theme of the third division. The

fourth section is given over to the ecumenical conflict. The final por­ tion deals briefly with the last days of Dr. Jones. Biography is a style of writing which may swing as a pendulum to the intensely warm or to the strictly objective. The present work empha­ sizes the former. No record of the American e du c a t i ona l process, especially that of fundamentalist persuasion, would be c omp l e t e without this account.— xxii— 361 pp.; cloth; Sword of the Lord, Mur­ freesboro, Tenn.; $6:95. — Re­ viewed by Charles Lee Feinberg.

Pastor* GOD’S BASIC LAW by Kurt Henning

In a time of rapidly vanishing moral standards in every area of society, Kurt Henning, pastor of a church in Stuttgart, Germany, has written this vital and timely work on the Ten Commandments. His interpretation of these Com­ mandments is Biblically sound and very practical. He applies God’s moral laws to the issues of our day in an effective way. The author shows the endless value of the Commandments through the fact that they regulate every relationship b e tw e e n God and man, and between man and man. This fact impresses upon the mind the inexhaustible depth and
