Freeway Through The Secular City
The Secular City Debate, edited by Daniel Callahan (Macmillan, 1966, 218 pp., $5.95), is reviewed by Don DeYoung, pastor, Elmendorf Reformed Church, New York, New York.
With the rumor out that Professor Cox is replacing Kahlil Gibran on campus, The Secular City Debate is a very helpful publication—at least for those who want to be “in” theologically, or knowledgeably “out” with secularolatry. As indicated by the word “debate,” the work is a compilation of various opinions that amplify, rebut, or affirm the arguments raised by Cox’s best-selling book, The Secular City. I counted about twenty-one contributions to the debate, ranging from the adoration of Paul Lehmann to the vitriolic denunciation of Steven S. Schwartzchild.
The book is divided into five parts: first, “What the Reviewers Said” (including the editorial “Supercity” from CHRISTIANITY TODAY, “Sons of God in the City,” by James Smylie in Presbyterian Outlook, and five others); second, “The Christianity and Crisis Debate” that appeared in the July 12 and 26, 1965, issues of that journal; third, “The Commonweal Debate,” including a contribution from the book’s editor, Daniel Callahan, who is associate editor of Commonweal; fourth, “Pressing the Inquiry Further,” with four articles written for this book; and fifth, “Harvey Cox Responds.” There is also an appendix entitled “Beyond Bonhoeffer” in which Cox suggests the continuing issues that attend the “future of religionless Christianity.”
Callahan describes his purpose in preparing this work as “modest”: “It aims neither to celebrate Cox’s book nor to provide a forum for those critical of the book. Instead, it is simply a collection of published reactions to the book, plus some essays written expressly for this book. As such, it is meant for those who might find it useful as a companion volume to Cox’s work, bringing together under one cover the responses of a diverse group of readers.” The title makes clear what Callahan freely admits, that the inspiration for the book was “the success and utility of David L. Edwards’ book, The Honest to God Debate.”
Under this one cover are found the results of varied examinations, raising an avalanche of questions that tended to intimidate this reader. No fault of the book, but I found myself meeting authors, books, and some academic disciplines for the first time. The assumption behind the encounter was that “we had met before”; so, as I do in strange company, I timidly hung on, not letting on that I feared I was being discovered! The writers’ acumen was a real stimulant.
Bonhoeffer’s question on April 30, 1944, “How do we speak of God without religion?,” continues to bear some puzzling and tempting fruit. The branches are multiples of sociology, revolution, hermeneutics, soteriology, ecclesiology, philosophy, technology—ad infinitum. Dedicated to simplification, I still came out at the fork of epistemology: Will we know by reason or by revelation? It seems to me that the burden of this discussion followed the road of reason. This reinforced my conviction that the neglect of the God-man invites the elevation of the Man-god. From my location in East Harlem, New York City, the Secular City appears with more bloodless Zen-pale than robust Christian-hale.
What Would You Say?
If I Had Only One Sermon to Preach, edited by Ralph G. Turnbull (Baker, 1966, 151 pp., $2.95), is reviewed by Haddon W. Robinson, professor of homiletics, Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, Texas.
Reviewing a collection of sermons is like judging an international beauty contest: it is hard to decide what critical standards to apply. To quibble with individual sermons is to invite the criticism that, after all, no compilation can satisfy every reader at each turn of the page. Possibly the only measure to use is the editor’s statement of purpose.
The title suggests that each contributor was invited to reduce the essence of preaching into one sermon. Fifteen preachers from five countries representing thirteen different church groups tried their hand at it. One contributor, Henry Bast, offered next Sunday’s sermon, while another, Andrew Blackwood, Jr., offered the sermon his congregation had asked for most often.
Several men, more to the point, majored in the essentials of evangelical Christianity. Ralph Earle dealt with the nature of God and Ralph Turnbull with God’s majesty. Others, such as Julian McPheeters, Samuel Moffett, Harold Ockenga, and Edward Elson, proclaimed the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Two tackled sterner doctrines: Peter Eldersveld discussed divine election and Hamish McKenzie hell and heaven. Paul Rees stood a bit off center with a sermon on “The Business of Belonging.”
When you pay your money for this book you can have your choice of homiletical approach. For example, Conrad Lund and Robert Cunningham use texts as springboards to discuss joy and hope; Herschel Hobbs, in contrast, presented a sermon on the Incarnation that resembles a lesson in exegesis. In a different style, Ronald Ward submitted a drama in four acts.
Here, then, is a cafeteria of evangelical emphasis and homiletical method that has at least a morsel for every taste. It should also make the evangelical preacher thankful that his ministry is not limited to a single message.
Mobilization For Missions
The Church’s Worldwide Mission, edited by Harold Lindsell (Word, 1966, 289 pp., $3.95), is reviewed by James D. Belote, professor of missions, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, New Orleans, Louisiana.
In April, 1966, the Congress on the Church’s Worldwide Mission was held at Wheaton College, co-sponsored by the Evangelical Foreign Missions Association and the Interdenominational Foreign Mission Association. There were 938 delegates from 71 countries, representing 150 mission boards and some 13,000 missionaries.
Delegates considered in depth the mission of the Church and discussed significant aspects of mission strategy and practice. At the close, a Declaration was adopted that summarized the findings of the congress. Dr. Lindsell’s book is a record of the proceedings and is a distinctive contribution to the missionary literature of the twentieth century.
The “Call to the Congress” (chapter one) confronts the reader with the seldom publicized fact that a vast amount of missionary work is being done by evangelical Christians who minister entirely outside the framework of the World Council of Churches (and its Commission on World Mission and Evangelism): “… IFMA-EFMA missionary strength alone is numerically greater than those societies represented in North America by the National Council of Churches … [and] represents the major North American missionary force today.”
Dr. Lindsell, an outstanding missions scholar, presents in chapter two an “Overview of the Congress.” This includes a background of the total world missionary situation and states the reasons why evangelicals felt it necessary to call this “summit conference.” The evangelization of the world is seen as the true biblical objective for this generation. The congress Declaration includes a covenant on the part of evangelicals to seek the mobilization of the Church to this end.
Other chapters present five Bible expositions and ten study papers dealing with the Church’s mission and related problems (syncretism, neo-universalism, proselytism, neo-Romanism, church growth, foreign missions, evangelical unity, method evaluation, social concern, and a hostile world). Also included are brief area reports from such places as Africa and Europe, descriptive material on EFMA and IFMA, information on program personalities, and a list of organizations at the congress.
Both the congress itself and this interpretative treatment by Dr. Lindsell support the proposition that “evangelical missionary endeavor has come of age in the 1960’s” (p. 7). No Christian minister or layman who has genuine concern for a chaotic world and for the carrying out of the Great Commission in our day can afford to be without this significant volume.
The First Great American Methodist
Francis Asbury, by L. C. Rudolph (Abingdon, 1966, 240 pp., $5), is reviewed by Frederick A. Norwood, professor of history of Christianity, Garrett Theological Seminary, Evanston, Illinois.
Students of Methodist history have been waiting for a long time for a good biography of the one man who on the American side personifies the development of the Wesleyan movement into a great church. They now have it. Although it suffers some notable limitations, it is well researched, well organized, well written. It is incomparably better than previous biographies, although that in itself is no compliment.
Asbury emerges as neither saint nor tyrant. The hagiolatry and mythology that have plagued most writing about this Methodist leader are blessedly absent, being replaced by a somewhat wry but good-humored admiration that in the end verges on awe. “No honest student of Asbury,” concludes the author, “can escape a kind of awe. One awful fact is his commission as he saw it; another is the way he never let it go.” Rudolph, whose stance is that of a friendly non-Methodist, had the advantage of working from a large body of recent scholarship, especially the new annotated edition of Asbury’s Journal and Letters and the History of American Methodism, both impressive three-volume sets. Combined with his own research of other original documentary sources, they constitute a solid foundation for his narrative and interpretation.
It is clear that, for all its merits, this book is not the desired definitive biography of Asbury. The narrative portion leading down to 1792 is appallingly inadequate, although high points are noted. This brevity has led to some inaccuracies. For example, we are led to believe that all the English preachers left in America returned to England during the Revolution, while in fact both Robert Williams and John King, who at first came on their own, remained and settled down to farm. Wesley did not exactly “carefully screen” out Calvinism from his abridgment of the thirty-nine Articles. Coke had more to do with the Chartered Fund than Asbury. “State” (implying static) is not the word for Wesley’s interpretation of sanctification. No serious attention is given to the barbarizing influence of the frontier on such Wesleyan doctrines as sanctification—an influence destructive of theology in general. The suggestion that Asbury contradicted Wesley on the matter of the “order” of bishop is not proved. In the discussion of the controversy with Calvinism, no mention is made, either for Asbury or Wesley, of the significant place of prevenient grace in Wesley’s theology.
But all these imperfections are not so much errors as inadequacies. Actual errors are very few. More important is the lack of systematic study of all the angles. One is disappointed in the inadequate treatment of Asbury’s travels, which were a dominant factor of his entire adult life. An exhaustive chronological and geographical analysis is not to be found in this book. Nor do we find a careful examination of Asbury’s life-long self-education through reading. Some books are mentioned, but none is analyzed in detail. Several of the major controversies and issues are only briefly noted. These lacks prevent the new biography from being considered definitive. Probably neither author nor publisher intended it to be so.
On a more modest ground, Rudolph’s effort is eminently successful. Asbury is rescued from his idolators and debunkers alike and presented to later twentieth-century Methodists in a believable and almost appealing form. And that, dear reader, is a major tour de force when you are dealing with a man who assumed it axiomatic that Methodism was the highest form of Christianity since the days of the apostles, and who could not understand why anyone should wish not to be a Methodist or not submit rejoicing to his unchallenged leadership.
Light On Judaism
Encyclopedia of the Jewish Religion, edited by R. J. Zwi Werblowsky and Geoffrey Wigoder (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1966, 415 pp., $18), is reviewed by Jakob Jocz, professor of systematic theology, Wycliffe College, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
This work differs from similar encyclopedias in English in that it deals exclusively with subjects relating to the Jewish religion. Its purpose, as stated in the preface, is to provide “the interested layman with concise, accurate, and non-technical information on Jewish belief and practices, religious movements and doctrines, as well as the names and concepts that have played a role in Jewish religious history.” Of the twenty-two contributors, seventeen reside in Israel, four in the United States, and one in South Africa. This book is therefore largely an Israeli contribution to the popularization of materia Judaica.
This one-volume work is easy to handle and contains some beautiful illustrations. From a Christian perspective, the most pleasing feature is the irenic spirit in which some controversial subjects are handled.
Our Lord’s Hebrew name is given as Joshua. This is a distinct departure from the traditional Yeshu, which has calumnious overtones for the Jewish ear. In the past Jewish scholars tended to deny any conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees; this work allows for such a conflict, though it holds that the Gospels are given to exaggeration. It also admits that Jesus considered himself the Messiah, though he understood his messiahship in accordance with “sectarian rather than Pharisaic” eschatology.
It is freely acknowledged that Christianity is rooted in Jewish soil and that Jesus and his followers were Jews. As is customary, Paul and not Jesus is credited with the break away from the Synagogue. At the same time it is admitted that the “blessing” against heretics was inserted in the Amidah to rid the Synagogue of Jewish Christians.
The article on Jewish Christians distinguishes between Ebionites, who believed in the messiahship of Jesus but denied his divinity, and Nazarenes, who believed in his divinity and also held to the Law. In this connection brief mention is made of contemporary Hebrew Christianity and its effort to re-establish itself in Jewry. The Hebrew Christian Alliance, however, is not mentioned.
This volume offers a large variety of information in concise form and is clearly stated. Some subjects are purely academic, such as the meaning of Afam or the etymology of Sandak; but many subjects are of general interest, and not a few have contemporary relevance, such as the rabbinic teaching on artificial insemination and birth control.
This work will prove a valuable source of information not only to Jewish laymen but also to Christians who have Jewish neighbors and who wish to know more about Judaism.
Creative Counseling
Basic Types of Pastoral Counseling: New Resources for Ministering to the Troubled, by Howard J. Clinebell, Jr. (Abingdon, 1966, 318 pp., $6) is reviewed by Charles M. Bryan, minister, Beaver Ridge Methodist Church, Knoxville, Tennessee.
This latest book by Howard J. Clinebell, Jr., is an excellent guide to creative new methods of counseling. It will be especially helpful to those who were brought up on the non-directive method (“Rogers with a dash of Freud”).
Clinebell maintains that the client-centered approach that has dominated counseling for years is limiting to the busy pastor. The non-directive method, which is of great value with highly verbal and strongly motivated persons, is neither needed nor helpful in other counseling settings. There are short-term approaches that a pastoral counselor may use to advantage.
The “revised model” of counseling offered by Clinebell differs from the older model in methods, structure, and goals. The older model, which is seen as a formal, structured interview using the client-centered method, seeks to uncover unconscious motivation and the childhood roots of adult behavior. Its central goal is insight. Clinebell’s revised model emphasizes the use of supportive methods rather than uncovering methods; its goal is to modify and improve relationships, using the counselee’s positive personality resources. It seeks to confront as well as understand the realities of the situation and to deal with behavior as well as feelings and attitudes. It considers counseling within the context of continuing pastoral care.
Clinebell sees pastoral counseling standing at a crossroads of discovery, both in new methods and in new understanding. The newer types of counseling he discusses include informal and short-term counseling, role-relationship marriage counseling, family group therapy, group pastoral counseling, confrontational counseling, counseling of religious-existential problems, and depth pastoral counseling.
A helpful addition to the volume is a chapter on “The Layman’s Ministry of Pastoral Care and Counseling.” The use of small groups and of insights from Alcoholics Anonymous (“Twelve Steps”) offer a new resource in the Church’s ministry to the troubled. The wise use of laymen would enable the pastor to offer extended arms of care to those who need help.
Ministers are urged to increase their skills as pastoral counselors. Clinebell makes specific suggestions: the use of reality-practice sessions (helpful for both the seminarian and the parish minister), sensitivity training sessions, supervision of one’s counseling, clinical pastoral training, and personal psychotherapy.
The pastor is still the person most often consulted by those in trouble. His special status as a religious authority figure and a leader of the religious community opens many doors of opportunity. It is imperative that he become skilled in this important ministry. Basic Types is a helpful and comprehensive guide to all who wish to improve their pastoral counseling skills.

A New Key To The Bible
Unger’s Bible Handbook, by Merrill F. Unger (Moody, 1966, 930 pp., $4.95), is reviewed by Merrill C. Tenney, dean of the Graduate School, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois.
This small, concise, yet comprehensive volume contains more than nine hundred pages of closely packed information on the origin, content, history, chronology, archaeology, and interpretation of the Bible, plus a short summary of the history of the Christian Church. It is illustrated by twenty-five maps, forty-five charts, and sixty or more pictures. The materials are organized systematically, and the explanations are clear and meaningful.
Not only is each book of the Bible summarized and placed in its historical setting, but a general commentary is provided with a brief outline of its teaching and an interpretation of its meaning. Integration is not lost in a mass of detail, for the progress of revelation is plainly indicated as the books are explained in sequence. The index, though not exhaustive, is adequate.
Unger points out critical problems, although the limited scope of this work precludes detailed discussion or extended defense of the views he expresses. He explains the problem of the last twelve verses of Mark by asserting that Mark’s first edition omitted them and that later Mark added the conclusion. Just why the second edition was not used as the basis for manuscripts Aleph and B, if it was just as authentic as the first edition, he does not explain (p. 510). His hypothesis needs better substantiation.
Some of the typology seems overdrawn. Likening the burning bush that was not consumed by the flames to an enslaved Israel that was not annihilated by oppression may be an apt simile, but the burning bush is not necessarily a type. At a few points the interpretations in this Handbook exceed the statements of Scripture and appear somewhat fancified.
Unger’s theological viewpoint is unquestionably biblical and conservative; his eschatology is premillennial and dispensational.
Typographical errors are few, and the factual statements are generally accurate. As a whole, this handbook is a systematic and reliable key to the contents of the Bible. Its small size makes it easily portable, and it will provide a ready source of information for the elementary study of the Scriptures.
