Holiness, Bishop J. C. Ryle, D.D., J. Clarke & Co., Ltd., London, 333 pages.
This is one of the finest works on this subject I have ever read. Bishop Ryle, an Anglican, could well have been an Adventist. He deals with sin, justification, and sanctification in a practical and detailed way that cannot fail to help the serious student. The author was a deep student of the Word, and his writings reflect the Puritan theology of the seventeenth century, of which he was a great authority. This book is highly recommended to all our workers as an inspiring approach to a topic on which we lack so much today. It deserves a wide circulation indeed.
Wonderfully Made, A. Rendle Short, M.D., F.R.C.S., Paternoster Press, London, 159 pages.
The author, professor of surgery in the University of Bristol, seeks, in language the layman can follow, to set out the wonders of the human body, and through them to demonstrate the obvious fallacy in the "blind chance" theory so often propounded by the evolutionist. Although we cannot always agree with Dr. Short's conclusions, he does provide us with valuable material in the fields of physiology and embryology, which will help us in the constant battle re human origins.
The Reformation, Principal Lindsay, D.D., LL.D.. T. &. T. Clark, Edinburgh.
Professor of church history in the United Free Church College, Glasgow, the author traces the Reformation story in Germany, Scandinavia, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Scotland, and England. He concludes with a scholarly analysis of the principles of the Reformation. His style is at once authoritative and readable, and this book should be most helpful to all who wish to have concise information as to the why's and wherefore's of this fascinating and vital period.
