ANCIENT TYPES
OF MAN
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.

PERSONAL
RELIGION IN EGYPT
BEFORE CHRISTIANITY
"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."
