MCAFEE, CLELAND BOYD. Christian faith and the new day. *90c (4c) Macmillan 230
20–6365
The author’s subject is theology—theology as adapted to the needs of the day. He says in his preface, “Visitors to theological seminaries often tell young men they are not to preach their theology, whereas in any sound way of speaking it is the only thing they are to preach.” The book is addressed “not to technical theologians but to working ministers and thoughtful laymen.” Contents: The call to reconstruction; The Christian theology of God; The Christian theology of salvation; The church; A concluding word. The author is a professor in McCormick theological seminary, Chicago.

The author is a Canadian farmer and journalist who visited the United States in the capacity of friendly observer. He was interested particularly in the state of public opinion as it concerns Canada and Great Britain and his method was to keep as quiet as possible and let the other person do the talking. Some of his chapters, which were contributed first to the Toronto Globe, are: Back to the primitive; Registering reform; A burden of farmers; Organized for profit; Old home week; The ward leader; The soul of Canada; A land of upper berths.
