The Problem of Pain, C. S. Lewis, The Macmillan Company, New York, 1959, 148 pages.
A thoughtful book on a difficult subject. The author goes beyond the discussion of physical pain to encompass wider aspects of pain, such as trouble, tribulation, anguish, trial, and anxiety. You will not be able to accept all the writer has to offer, but you will find some worth-while views regarding this universal problem.
Does Science Support Evolution? E. Ralph Hooper, Evangelical Publishers, 366 Bay St., Toronto, Canada, 157 pages.
If you are something of an authority on this subject, this book may not interest you. But if you are an amateur looking for compact material with a punch, you will find it here, from admissions of the weaknesses of evolution by Haeckel and Thomas Huxley to the ringing defense of Creation by Sir Winston Churchill.
Christian Life and the Unconscious, Ernest White, Harper and Brothers, New York, 1955, 190 pages.
A great deal is being said and written these days about the part the subconscious plays in our lives. Many believe it has a great part in affecting our thoughts and actions. This raises the question having broad implications for the Christian: To what extent, if any, does the new birth affect the unconscious? The author's efforts to answer this question offer some very worth-while insights into psychology and its place in Christianity. We highly recommend this little volume to all our readers.
The Case for Christianity, C. S. Lewis, The Macmillian Company, New York, 1958, 56 pages.
This slim little book is worth while because of the very simplicity of its approach. Beginning with the most basic, universally accepted standards of right and wrong, the author goes on to build upon them his "case for Christianity." This small volume might prove especially helpful for missionaries working in areas where the understanding of the people of the principles of Christianity and the existence of God is quite limited.
