Christianity; Humanism -- History -- 20th century; Religion
BY RICHARD G. MOULTON,
Editor of _The Modern Reader's Bible_
_Cloth, 12mo. $1.00_
Dr. Moulton's purpose in this book is, as indicated in his title, to
present a concise view of the Bible, a view which shall make clear its
general character and content and prepare the reader for more detailed
study afterward. Dr. Moulton's training and research--he is the author
of many books bearing on the Bible and the editor of _The Modern
Reader's Bible_--well fit him for the task which he has chosen. This
presentation of the broad outlines of the Bible cannot but lead to a
more general and clearer appreciation of the content and real spirit of
"the greatest book in the world." The appendix offers a course in
Bible reading calculated to conserve time and energy and to bring
better results than disorganized Bible reading.

This Life and the Next
THE EFFECT ON THIS LIFE OF FAITH IN ANOTHER
BY P. T. FORSYTH
_Price, $1.00_
"Immortality needs to be mortalized and brought home to our daily life
without losing its mystic spell. So many have turned it from a
practical task into a theoretical problem; from a Gospel to our will
into a riddle to our wits; from a matter of conscience and duty to a
matter of poetry and speculation, resting it not on the free grace of
God but on the dim presumption of man."
The reaction of a belief in immortality, its moral rebound, upon this
life--The egoism of Christ and the egoism of the anti-egoists--The
egoism of God, the blessing of the world--Immortality, a vocation
rather than a problem--Immortality as a crushing crisis, a searching
judgment on life's interior--Time's sacramental secret--The Kingdom of
God as the real ground of Christian belief in the soul's
future--Immortality, not continued but redeemed life--Immortality as
behavior in a new dimension.

Religion, Its Prophets and False Prophets
BY JAMES BISHOP THOMAS, PH. D.
Professor in the Theological Department of the
University of the South.
_$1.50_
The object of this book, as its title suggests, is a study of the
historic conflict between the two types of religion, which may be
designated as the prophetic and the exploiting type. It further seeks
to ascertain the theological aspects and implications of the contest,
to do justice to the theological permanence, veracity and breadth of
vision of prophetism and to show how the theologies or hierarchies and
ecclesiasticism were influenced or manipulated in the interests of the
will to exploit. Again it may be said that the author seeks in this
volume to discover and state just what Christianity is. In order to do
this he distinguishes between historic Christianity and the
Christianity of its founder. His conclusion is that "The world's
greatest need as in the past so today, is to understand and follow the
Christianity of Christ."
