“THE MAKING OF CHRISTIANITY, an Exhibit of Hebrew and Christian Messianic Apocalyptical Philosophy and Literature,” by John C. C. Clarke, D. D. 423 pages. The Associated Authors, Inc., New York.
The author takes the position that the symbolical parts of the Bible are meant to illustrate principles in the conflict between good and evil, and that they deal scarcely at all with events still future at the time of writing. The effort to show that this was the way they were intended to be understood, naturally leads to some strained construction of their words. He deals not only with Daniel and the Revelation, but with many passages in both the Old and the New Testament, as well as in Philo, Enoch, and the Apocrypha. The striking parallels between passages from these different sources which are exhibited in this work, are interesting, and worthy the attention of the Bible student.
