_The Life of Christ_ (Burgess). A careful historical study of the
life of Christ from the four gospels. A manual for teacher and
pupil presents a somewhat exhaustive treatment, but full
instructions for the selection of material for classes in which but
one recitation a week occurs are given the teacher in a separate
outline.
_The Hebrew Prophets_ (Chamberlin). An inspiring presentation of
the lives of some of the greatest of the prophets from the point of
view of their work as citizens and patriots. In the manual for
teachers and pupils the biblical text in a good modern translation
is included.
_Christianity in the Apostolic Age_ (Gilbert). A story of early
Christianity chronologically presented, full of interest in the
hands of a teacher who enjoys the historical point of view.
In the high-school years also young people find it necessary to face the
problem of living the Christian life in a modern world, both as a
personal experience and as a basis on which to build an ideal society.
To meet this need a number of books intended to inspire boys and girls
to look forward to taking their places as home-builders and responsible
citizens of a great Christian democracy and to intelligently choose
their task in it are prepared or in preparation. The following are now
ready:
_Problems of Boyhood_ (Johnson). A series of chapters discussing
matters of supreme interest to boys and girls, but presented from
the point of view of the boy. A splendid preparation for efficiency
in all life's relationships.
_Lives Worth Living_ (Peabody). A series of studies of important
women, biblical and modern, representing different phases of life
and introducing the opportunity to discuss the possibilities of
effective womanhood in the modern world.
_The Third and Fourth Generation_ (Downing). A series of studies in
heredity based upon studies of phenomena in the natural world and
leading up to important historical facts and inferences in the
human world.
ADULT GROUP
The Biblical studies assigned to the high-school period are in most
cases adaptable to adult class work. There are other volumes, however,
intended only for the adult group, which also includes the young people
beyond the high-school age. They are as follows:
_The Life of Christ_ (Burton and Mathews). A careful historical
study of the life of Christ from the four gospels, with copious
notes, reading references, maps, etc.
