SEGREGATION AND DESEG-
REGATIoN. "A CHRISTIAN AP-
PROAcH. BY T. B. Maston. The
Macmillan Company. l76 PIP.
| $3.50.
Here is a practical and timely
book. Ever since the racial sit
uation came to a crisis in 1854 !
have personally felt the need for
such a book as this. The author
approaches Segregation and De-
segregation from a rational Chris
tan viewpoint and Utilities the
Christian ideal as the measuring
stick to judge racial practices and
procedures.
The author begins in Chapter
I with the Supreme Court Deci-
sion, the occasion for it, its con-
tent and background. The Deci-
sion itself is give in Appendix A
so that the reader can study the
legal wording as it was rendered.
The Supreme Court Action of
May 81, 1855, interpreting the
Decision, is given in Appendix
B. Major reactions to the Deci-
sions are enumerated and eval-
uated in Chapter II.
An important feature of the
treatise is the authors attempt to
define terms that many of us use
loosely and glibly. He makes a
distinction between separation"
and segregation" between ode
segregation" and IMMIGRATION"
Since a part of the racial prob
lem is caused by people using
these terms Unfortunately, DR..
Maston is right in arguing that
they should have definitive con-
tent known to those who use
them.
The best part of the book and
| it's main contribution comes in
, the closing chapters in which the
author discusses various facets
of Segregation and Desegrega-
ton in relationship to the car
dinal principles of the Christian
faith. These chapters come under
the titles of Biblical Teachings
and Segregation, Segregation and
the Christian Ethic, The Church
and Segregation, Segregation and
World Missions.
The author is Professor OF
Ethics at Southwestern Baptist
Theological S e m n AIRY, Fort
Worth, Texas. Even though a
southern Baptist, his concept OF
Christ, the nature of God and the
Christian Church are essentially
ecumenical and inclusive. His in
depreciation of the Scriptures is
as sound for an ecumenical ap-
proach to religion as it is to de-
segregation. His content is solid
and comprehensive and his style
| interesting and lucid.
SEGREGATION AND Disco
IRRIGATION is a significant
book because it throws light on
one of the gravest social and re-
ligious problems of our time. It
1 deserves careful reading and
prayerful study by every sincere
person concerned about Christian
race relations anywhere in the
world.
