study of the life of
Christ from the four gospels, with copious

What Jesus Taught (Slaten). This book develops an unusual but stimulating method of teaching groups of students in colleges, Christian associations, and churches. After a swift survey of the material and spiritual environment of Jesus this book suggests outlines for discussions of his teaching on such topics as civilization, hate, war and non-resistance, democracy, religion, and similar topics. Can be effectively used by laymen as well as professional leaders.

delightful biographies
of men who have been influential in great
crises in the history

the fundamental social relationships which

family, the city, and the state.
Religious Education
in the Family (Cope). An illuminating study
of the possibilities
of a normal religious development in the
family life. Invaluable
to parents.
Christianity and
Its Bible (Waring). A remarkably comprehensive
sketch of the Old and
the New Testament religion, the Christian
church, and the present
status of Christianity.
It is needless to say that the Constructive Studies present no sectarian dogmas and are used by churches and schools of all denominational affiliations. In the grammar-and high-school years more books are provided than there are years in which to study them, each book representing a school year’s work. Local conditions, and the preference of the Director of Education or the teacher of the class will be the guide in choosing the courses desired, remembering that in the preceding list the approximate place given to the book is the one which the editors and authors consider most appropriate.
