David Baron and the Hebrew Christian Testimony to Israel. By E. Bendor Samuel. The Hebrew Christian Testimony to Israel, London. 161 pp. 10/6.

This is a record of fifty years of world-wide missionary service by Davijd Baron and C. A. Schönberger, with very much light on the Scripture and revelation on how David Baron—perhaps the greatest missionary to Israel—conducted his work. Any light on the life and labors of David Baron must be invaluable to those who pray and strive for the conversion of Israel. Mr. Samuel states that it was first the intention to issue this volume as a jubilee memorial on the Hebrew Christian testimony which Mr. Baron and Mr. Schöenberger founded, but difficulties in printing hindered. While both Mr. Baron and Mr. Schöenberger have gone on to be with the Lord, their testimony continues. The method of this great work of faith is here described. The book should be read by all Christians who desire to be effective in soul-winning work. The book is commended to all.

The Higher Significance of the Gospel. By Walter D. Kallenbach, Ph.D., Th.D. Northland Publishing House, St. Paul. 235 pp. $1.50.

Dr. Kallenbach was an evangelist and labored under the handicap of being totally blind.

No theological statement which declares the gospel has been formulated, hence any desire to know what enters into it, as presented by men of spiritual insight and experience, must be gratified elsewhere. The gospel is something to believe—an appeal to the heart for men to believe on Christ. We may look and hope for a living, pulsating description of God’s grace to lost men. There of course is no higher significance than this to the gospel. Dr. Kallenbach leads us to the Person of Christ. The book by so much abounds in aspects of truth which will be a blessing to many children of God.

Millennial Studies. By George L. Murray. Baker Book House, Grand Rapids. 207 pp. $2.50.

The weaknesses of this volume are not due to the author’s defence of amillennialism, which is scholarly and able, but to the intrinsic deficiencies of the amillennial position itself. Dr. Murray spares no pains to expose the difficulties of the premillennial dispensational interpretation of Scripture. This is the apparent aim of the book. Suppose the author were successful in demolishing the premillennial dispensational position in favor of amillennialism. In that case we would be left with a system embarrassed by difficulties as serious, if not more so, with the additional disadvantage that amillennialism simply a...
