COVER PLATE Bishop Randolph Sinks Foster was born in 1820 in Williamsburg, Ohio, and died in 1903. He was elected President of Drew Theological Seminary in 1870, and was elevated to the bishopric of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1872 in Brooklyn.

He has written, among other things, Beyond the Grave, 1879; Centenary Thoughts,

1884; Christian Purity, 1869; Recognition of Friends in Heaven, 1878; Unity of

Episcopal Methodisms, and a set of doctrinal works entitled Studies in Theology.

The symbol in the bookplate of Bishop Foster would be defined somewhat as follows: argent a chevron gules between three hunting horns stringed, stag's head erased. The chevron between three huntington horns is characteristic of the Foster arms, and may be seen on tombstones in the buring ground at Charlestown, Mass. SOME RECENTLY PUBLISHED (1950-1952) BIBLIOGRAPHIES IN BOOKS OF BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION, THEOLOGY, AND CHURCH HISTORY

by Wilbur M. Smith, D.D.

The following bibliography is suggestive, not exhaustive. Though in Southern California we have great universities and correspondingly great libraries in most fields, theological libraries here are nothing to boast of. Had I been able to draw up this list in Chicago or at Princeton, in New York City or in the vicinity of Boston, it would be much more exhaustive. The year 1949 has not been included in the compass of this list, and this I regret, for some bibliographies of outstanding importance were published then. Before entering upon the bibliography proper, I think we should note the appear­ ance of the third and last volume of Donald Wing’s great Short-Title Catalog of Books Printed in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and British America, and of English Books Printed in Other Countries, 1641-1700, by which we now have available, in an alphabetical arrangement of authors, practically a complete catalog of all books published in Great Britain and America from 1475 to 1700. It has been announced that a special volume indexing this vast work by subjects is being prepared.

BIBLIOGRAPHY Some publications that are strictly bibliographical bear directly upon our subject; e.g., "The Bibliography of Periodical Literature on the Near and Middle East,” prepared under the direction of Dr. Sidney S. Glazer, consultant in Near East Biblio­ graphy in the Library of Congress, reprinted quarterly from the Middle East Journal; also the monthly publication of the Zion Research Library entitled "New Books of the Zion Research Library” (120 Seaver St., Brookline 46, Mass.). The Publisher’s Circular, Ltd., of 171 High Street, Beckenham, Kent, England, began its publication of supplements with 4000 Books on Religion, Classified, Arranged Under 70 sub-divisions. This also contains extensive advertising material. There is no hint, as far as I can see, as to the principles upon which these books were selected. Most of them, I would judge, are late publications, and are almost exclusively British. A Selected and Annotated Bibliography of Books and Periodicals in Western Lan­ guages, Dealing with the Near and Middle East, with special emphasis on medieval and modern times, edited by Richard Ettinghausen. Prepared under the auspices of the Committee on Near Eastern Studies of the American Council of Learned Societies, and Published by the Middle East Institution, Washington, D.C., 1952. pp. viii, 111. The author index of 24 columns would seen to indicate that there are about 1400 items in this valuable bibliography. While it does not relate exclusively to Biblical and theological material, there should be included here a publication issued by the British Museum in 1952, which I picked up in London last summer, The Catalogs of the British Museum: Vol. I, Printed Books, by F. C. Francis, Keeper, Department of Printed Books, British Museum. 40 pp. The following is chiefly a list of bibliographies in books on Biblical subjects, and in periodicals. 3 GENERAL RELIGIOUS BIBLIOGRAPHY

Basic Book List of Religious and Inspirational Titles. Religious Publishers Group. New York: Religious Publishers Group, 1950. 12 pp. "Books to Put to Work,” by Wilbur M. Smith.

Journal, Sept. 1, 1951.

A Guide to Christian Reading. London: Inter-Varsity Fellowship, 1952. In my opinion, this is the most important bibliography of Biblical and theological material of our generation constructed from a conservative viewpoint. Almost 1500 volumes are listed, with author, title, publisher, date, and sometimes page num bers, with an occasional brief word of comment. The material is well classified under 58 headings, arranged under 9 major divisions — the Bible, the Old Testament, the New Testament, Systematic Theology, Doctrine, Apologetics, the Practice of Christianity, Church Flistory, Foreign Missions — concluding with a select list of basic works, pp. 110-117.

Guide to Reference Books, by Constance M. Winchell. Chicago: American Library Association, 1951. pp. 122-147. The classification of reference books under "Religion” here is as follows: General Works, the Christian Religion (about two-thirds of the entire section), Non-Christian Religions, Mythology, Popular Customs and Folk Lore, Holidays. This is the seventh edition of the invaluable work originally compiled by Isador Gilbert Mudge.

BAPTIST CHURCH A Baptist Bibliography, Being a Register of Printed Material By and About Baptists, Including Works Written against the Baptist, edited by Edward C. Starr. Section II, B— Biloxi. Chester, Pa.: The American Baptist Historical Society (actually this is the Library of Crozer Theological Seminary). 11 x 8V2 inches, pp. 285,38. The first section of this Bibliography, covering the letter A, a book one-half the size of this, was issued at Colgate University in 1947, a work of 190 pages of bibliography in addition to an elaborate index, location symbols, etc. One wonders how long it will take to complete this bibliography if sections devoted to only one letter of the alphabet are publishel five years apart. Why should a huge volume be required for titles falling, in alphabetic order, under only a section of the letter B ? Upon opening the work, one discovers that titles beginning with the word Baptism and Baptist extend from pages 74 to 109, and those included under Bible, from pages 206 to 273. Probably no volume appearing subsequently in this series will have three sections of such importance. It is not my purpose in this bibliography to pass criticism, but it seems to me that some of this material is comparatively insignificant, especially an index to the minutes of the different small local Baptist churches of this country; but perhaps this would be necessary to some particular research project on the Baptist churches of particular states.

(The following is supplementary to the bibliography that appeared in the previous issue of the BULLETIN.)

I. GENERAL B. Treatises Covering Theological History in General Cunningham, William.

The second volume covers 1517 to 1895. Webb, Clement Charles Julian. Studies in the History of Natural Theology. Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1915. vi, 363 pp.

C. Some Recent Works on Special Doctrines with Historical Value. I believe that it would be advantageous to include here some of the outstanding works attempting to cover the history of Christology since the beginning of the 19th century. This embraces Gospel Criticism, which of course does not technically belong in the specific bibliography Dr. Ramm has constructed; nevertheless the following volumes are important. McCown, Chester Charlton. The Search for the Real Jesus; a Century of Histor­ ical Study. N.Y., Scribner’s, 1940. xviii, 338 p. Bibliography, pp. 311-320. Salvatorelli, Luigi. "From Locke to Reitzenstein: The Historical Investigation of the Origins of Christanity.” Harvard Theological Review, 22:263-270, Oct., 1929-

Weinel, Heinrich. Jesus in the Nineteenth Century and After, by Heinrich Weinel, and Alban G. Widgery. Edinburgh, T. & T. Clark, 1914. x, 457 pp. 14 An increasingly important area of theological discussion today is that of eschato­ logy, the history of which might well have some place in this bibliography. Let me here suggest at least the following.

Froom, Leroy Edwin, The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers. Washington, D.C., Review and Herald, 1946- . 4 v. Volumes one to three have been published, and include over 2600 pages; the last volume is due this year. This is the most exhaustive survey of the prophetic literature of the Church that has been made. It is the work of a Seventh-Day Adventist who accepts the year-day theory, and insists that the Roman Church is Antichrist and Babylon. The work is indispensable nontheless. A brief survey of the Church’s various millennial views through the centuries is The Millennium in the Church, Studies in the History of Chiliasm, by D. H. Krom- minga. (Grand Rapids, Eerdmans, 1945, 360 pp.). The entire subject is reviewed, in part, in a large work by Isaac C. Wellcome, History of the Second Advent, Method and Mission . .. Yarmouth, Me., 1874. 707 pp. I have given only a brief list out of a possible extensive bibliography.

II. AMERICAN THEOLOGY B. Movements It is difficult to know where to draw a line on the literature of the history of American theology. We can hardly discuss this subject without entering into the question of Unitarianism. The following are only suggested additions.

Eddy, Richard. Universalism in America, a History. Boston, Universalist Pub. House,, 1884-86. 2 v. Ellis, George Edward. A Half-century of the Unitarian Controversy . . . Boston, Crosby, Nichols and Co., 1857. xxiv, 511 pp. Frothingham, Octavius Brooks. Transcendentalism in New England, a History. Boston, American Unitarian Association., 1908. ix, 383 pp- Gordon, Ernest Barron. The Leaven of the Sadducees; or, Old and New Apos­ tasies. Chicago, Bible Institute Colportage Assoc. [1926] 263 pp. This is one of the most penetrating studies of the destructive influences of Unitarianism in New England that has been written. It is now seldom referred to. The document is authentic.

Murdock, Kenneth B. Literature and Theology in Colonial New England. Cam­ bridge, Harvard University Press, 1949- xi, 235 pp.

III. BRITISH THEOLOGY Tullock, John. Movements of Religious Thought in Britain during the Nineteenth Century. N.Y., Harper, 1886. 210 p.

IV. SCOTTISH THEOLOGY Hope, Norman V. "Church and Religion in Present Day Scotland.” Theology Today, 9:494-501, Jan., 1953. MacLeod, John. Scottish Theology in Relation to Church History Since the Refor­ mation . . . Edinburgh, Free Church of Scotland, 1943. viii, 336 pp. This volume, based upon lectures delivered at Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, by the Principal Emeritus of Free Church College, Edinburgh, is one of the outstanding surveys of modern theology produced during the twentieth century, a book that has never received the attention it deserves. Such a work as Henry F. Henderson’s The Religious Controversies of Scotland (Edinburgh, 1905, 208 pp.) is actually a history of theological debates. 15 V. GERMAN THEOLOGY

Drummond, Andrew L. German Protestantism Since Luther. London, Epworth Press, 1941.

VII. ORTHODOX MOVEMENTS

Arseniev, Nicholas. "Creative Quest.” Review of Religion, 16:5-26, Nov., 1951.

RATIONALISM AND UNBELIEF Is seems to me that in surveying the history of theology, we should include the history of the more powerful attacks upon the Christian faith, of rationalism and free thought, as it is sometime called. Some very important volumes have appeared in this field. The following, I believe, are the major works in English. Benn, Alfred William. The History of English Rationalism in the Nineteenth

Century. London, Longmans, 1905. 2 v. Cairns, John. Unbelief in the Eighteenth Century as Contrasted with its Earlier and Later History, being the Cunningham Lectures for 1880. N.Y., Harper, 1881. 216 pp. A brilliant work deserving frequent rereading. Farrar, Adam Storey. A Critical History of Free Thought in Relation to the Chirstian Religion. London, J. Murray, 1862; N.Y., D. Appleton, 1891. xlvi, 487 pp. The Bampton lectures for 1862. Hagenbach, Karl Rudolf. German Rationalism in its Rise, Progress and Decline . . . Edinburgh, T. & T. Clark, 1865. xix, 405 pp. Hurst, John Fletcher. History of Rationalism; Embracing a Survey of the Present State of Protestant Theology. Revised Ed. N.Y., Eaton & Mains [1901] xix, 633 pp- Robertson, John Mackinnon. A Short History of Freethought, Ancient and Modern. 2d ed. London, Watts & Co., 1906. 2 v. Robertson was the most prolific writer and the best scholar among the English rationalists at the beginning of our century. This may be entitled "Short,” but it contains over a thousand pages. Not satisfied with this, he did a second work, A History of Free Thought in the Nine­ teenth Century (London, Watts & Co., 1929, 2 v.). All of his writing are fully annotated, and the reference material is very extensive. Sheldon, Henry Clay. Unbelief in the Nineteenth Century. N.Y., Eaton & Mains; Cincinnati, Jennings & Graham [1907] viii, 399 pp- Tullock, John. Rational Theology and Christian Philosophy in England in the Seventeenth Century. London, Blackwood, 1872. 2 v. Various volumes have been issued in the last few years by Columbia, University Press including doctoral dissertations on Theism, Deism, etc., such as Moráis, Deism in the Eighteenth Century America, but I do not think it necessary to list all of these here.
