Iffi. 14 r n b t. Cosmology. By James A. McWilliams, S. J. The Macmillan Co., New York. 243 pages, 5X7%. Price, $2.00. Professor McWilliams received his training in Jesuit schools, became a member of that order, and is now professor at St. Louis University. Hc is one of the leaders of the revival of scholastic philosophy, which has been fostered in France, Belgium, Germany, and America. His present volume discusses the material world, its extension, necessity, and composi- Book Review. - 53lteratur. 77 tion, and also the specific properties of bodies. Both in its fundamental concepts and in its method the volume is an excellent illustration of the manner in which the Catholic Church is endeavoring to revitalize scholastic philosophy, or as Professor McvVilliams would prefer to put it, to vitalize modern philosophy by contact with the work of St. Thomas. From the standpoint of philosophical study we have here an attempt to accept all the results of modern scientific research and pour them into the mold of Aristotle's metaphysics as understood by Thomas Aquinas. To those who wish to delve into the modern view of the universe, its composition and its laws, the clear dissertation of these proMems by which the author intro- duccs the scholastic interpretation must be a delight. There is an interest- ing chapter or two on miracles, with scientific and syllogistic proof for the possibility of miracles. Each has a bibliography, with references mostly to Catholic texts.

Proceedings of the Fifty-Se'venth Convention of the Eastern District, assembled at Lockport, N. Y., June 26-30, 1933. Concordia Pub- lishing House. 80 pages_ Price, 23 cts. The Rev. P. Fretthold read a very interesting and timely paper on "The Present-day Economic Depression in the Light of God's Word." In the first part he briefly reviewed depressions in Biblical and modern times; in the second part the causes of depressions, particularly of the present depression, were considered; the third part sounded the call of repentance, while the fourth presented God's comfort and consolation in times of de- pression. This essay alone is worth more than the price of this booklet. T. LAETscH. Book Review. - 53itetatut. 79 The Bible and the Quest of Life. Fifty-two Studies in the Contribution of the Bible to Present-day Thought and Life. By Vruce Curry. 1933. Oxford University Press, New York. 315 pages, 5X7. Price, $1.75. In a widely read book by a prominent educator of America we are told. that it is good from time to time to read a book with which one thoroughly disagrees. It is said to sharpen the power of judgment. It is in this sense that we ofIer a review of this book by an associate professor of practical theology at Union Seminary, New York City. The hook bears witness against the author as being a Liberalist or Modernist, of believing in evolution, in unionism, in synergism, of having a totally false conception of inspiration, and of holding fundamentally wrong views on practically every doctrine presented. Serious errors of this kind occur at the rate of one to about six pages. There is only one redeeming feature in the book which might cause a Lutheran pastor to consult it at one time or another, namely, the questions which are offered for study and discussion. Many of these are really most interesting and stimulating, and every pastor who is preparing his own Bible-class material as he ought to will find good models in this series of lessons. P. E.

While the author's Christology is wrong, while he advocates the social gospel, while in other respects the modernistic spirit crops out time and again, there is for the discriminating pastor much thought-stimulating material in this little book.
