| Illustrated | | | | | | From discoveries of ancient human remains | | made within the last half-century, | | anthropologists are now able to place in | | order changes that have taken place in the | | posture, gait, height, and to some extent | | the habits of man during a period of at | | least a half-million years.  Prof.  Keith, who | | is one of the foremost investigators in this | | field, tells the story of the various forms | | which the body of the man has assumed, in a | | lucid and attractive way. | | | | “The kind of book that only a master of his | | subject could write.  It must interest every | | thinking person.”--British Medical | | Journal. | | | -------------------------------------------------

| “The author gauges what ideas were already    |
| part of the religious thought in the first    |
| century, and what were the terms and ideas    |
| in Christianity which were new to mankind.    |
| The current literature of the time was as     |
| naturally taken for granted by Christians as  |
| were the books of the Old Testament which     |
| were familiar to them.  The separation of the  |
| new ideas in the teaching of Christ and of    |
| the Apostles from the general terms of        |
| religion at the time, is the only road to     |
| understanding what Christianity meant to      |
| those who actually heard the teaching.”       |
