Growing Interest in Religious Literature

conservation" in behalf Of the
kingdom in this world.
The international cooperative
movement is the theme of United
for Freedom edited by Leo r.
Ward. Material from Pope Plus
XII, George A. Mcdonald, s. j.;
Andrew J. Kress, Emerson Hynes,
ETC., Is brought in to a systematic
relation with special reference to
practical ethics and sociology.
A study of the cIashing in
terests of the church and the
totalitarian state is DR.. Paul
Hutchinson's New Leviathan."
Obviously, the Soviet Union
comes in for condemnation as
the sponsor of "a mortal god"
with whom the author declares
there can be no compromise"
Christ and Mans Dilemma"
by DIR. George A. Buttrick,
pleads for the real Christ--not
for Christ as a vague ideal. for
that would be no match for our
selfishness; not for Christ as q
name for our good intentions,
for they are less than strawS in
our modern tempest; but for
Christ as the Incarnate God" as
an alternative to chaos.
Opposite theologies are repre-
sented in The Trinity and Chris
tian Devotion" by DR.. Charles
w. Lowry, rector Of All Saints
Church, and The Faith OF an
Unrepentent Liberal" by the Rev.
A. Powell Davies, minister Of All
Souls Church, yet both authors
labor in the same community,
seek the same ultimate religious
fulfillment, share the same hope,
are prompted by the same basic
conviction. A rich spiritual ex-
perience might be had by any re-
ceptive reader who would study
the Trinitarian and the Unitar-
ian points Of view together, con-
sciously striving to find and to
correlate the elemental values in
both.
Five books of frankly indivi-
dualistic origin are: And An
other Thing" by Howard Spring;
THE Abrupt Self" David Mar
tens: Beyond This Darkness"
Roger L. Shinn; 1T Shall Be
Done Unto YOU" Lucius Hum
phrey, and Whats Wrong With
Religion?" by Karl B. Justus.
Evening star., 1946-12-01

for modern use is "A Bible for
the Liberal" edited by DR.. Dago-
bert d. Runes. He speaks of his
purpose as being to strip essen
tial Judaism and essential Chris
tianity" of "the wrappings of
circumstance Of time and place"
SO that the ethical values are
revealed and stressed. Naturally,
the writings" of Jesus are the
most important and are repro
duced most copiously.
DR.. Lawrence E. Nelson's "Our
Rowing Bible" traces the influ-
ence of the Scriptures through
English and American literature
from SGT AID. to date. The edi-
tor is also a vigorous commenta-
tor, whose knowledge OF history
aids him immensely in his work.
AS an anthology. il not for any
other reason, here is volume
which surely has come to stay.
A New Survey of
Christian History
y A like observation applies to
The Story of the Faith" q
scholarly survey of Christian
history for the undogmatic, by
DR.. William Alva Clifford. It is
Evening star., 1946-12-01

w " HETHER 1t is because
of the global wars or
wv the political revolu-
tions which have at
tended them or the economic
turmoil which has been their
consequence, the interest of great
numbers of ordinary people in
religious literature is growing.
Each year the list of books in
this category increases. The va
riety also expands. And the
books likewise grow in their liter
AIRY character, in the quality Of
their development, in their pow
er Of logic. in the magic of their
attraction. If there be doubt OF
this progress. it may be corrected
by checking the publishers cata-
logues of 1916 with those Of 10 or
20 or 30 years ago.
Undoubtedly, the most impress
sive religious volume of the IL
months now closing is The Idea
of Christ in the Gospels" by
George Santayana, famous phil
osopher and poet. He considers
what the Saviour was in His roles
as the Son of God, the Son of
Man, the Messiah, the perform
er of miracles, the preacher, the
martyr; then discusses what He
did that still is durable and dy-
mamie. The inspirational nature
of the gospels engages his at
tention and he asks. What ex-
actly is this inspiration?" Much
of the remainder of the work is
striving to answer. The path OF
the author leads through mys-
tic realm. It is not a road with
out hills and stones and briars.
And it does not lead to a universe
saved and converted. But the
journey is well worth while.
Mr.. Santayana was "a decided
materialist" and perhaps even a
cynic in his youth. Now, past 80,
he still is something Of a sceptic.
Yet he does believe. and Christ
is at least as real to him rs
mathematics.

Daily Devotions for
The Entire Year

Three hundred and seventy
clergymen contributed to Amer
lea Prays,' a book of daily devo-
tions for the entire year, edited
by DR.. Norman E. Nygaard for
the use OF lay as well as clerical
readers in quest of varied and yet
corporate inspiration. The pur-
pose of the volume Is well served
by its attractive arrangement, a
page for a day.
Another group enterprise is

erature," but he does more than
that-creating, in effect, a skilled
lawyers case against the con-
tinued separation of religious
bodies which obviously suffer
from being separated. His philos-
ophy is practical as well as richly
idealistic. If a reader is to study
only one work on Christian unity,
here 1t is.
Pioneers for Peace Through
Religion" by DIR. Charles S. Mac
farland, is q book of similar in
terest--a history Of the Church
Peace Union, founded by Andrew
Carnegie in 1914 The effort of
the establishment did not pre-
vent the Second World War, but
there can be no question about
the value of it's contribution to
the moral opposition to interna-
tional strife. 1t has asserted and
repeatedly reasserted divine
sovereignty versus the provoca-
tive implications of national
sovereignty" at their worst.
The Role of the Bible
In a War Torn World
DIR. Francis Carr Stiher's 1.-THE
Bible Speaks" is an engaging
attempt to show that ''the worlds
greatest book" is playing its i'm
portant role in the reconstruc-
ton of war-blasted world" 1t
certainly succeeds in proving that
the Scriptures do bring strength
to every wholesome influence in
human life" If only because the
Bible gives people courage for
our need" it is an invaluable
asset in the present era of re-
adjustment and rebuilding-as
the author of this volume says.
They Knew Christ" by Rev.
r. j. Mueller, is series Of six
teen portraits of men and women
who were associated with the
Saviour-the dramatis personae
of the New Testament, including
Luke, John, Mark, Timothy, IT,
tus, Barnabas, st. Stephen, the
Rich Young Man, the Blind Beg
gar, the Centurion Cornelius, Pi-
late, Herod, Martha, Mary Mag
daiene, st. John the Baptist and
st. Joseph. Each character is
viewed through modern glasses,
naturally, but none is separated
from the original background of
the Bible; the language, the style
and manner of treatment are
scriptural throughout.
