...Testament, where 27 chapters of Leviticus are cut down to little more than a page of fairly large type. Digester Ross deletes "indelicate episodes" like the incest of Lot and his daughters (Genesis 19, 29-38), modifies others, such as Nicodemus' reference, in conversation with Christ, to the womb...
Onetime Tait Professor of Natural Philosophy at Edinburgh University, Dr. Darwin, 50, has been Master of Christ's College, Cambridge, since 1936. In 1931 he compared physics to "a mother who has just given birth to several healthy children, but has not yet recovered sufficiently to know what is going to happen next." Physics has given birth to several other children since then, and Physicist Darwin will try to deal with them all, since research in pure science as well as industrial work goes on at N.P.L. He will move into the palace with a wife and five real...
...Although both believe that the Bible is the Word of God, American Lutherans believe it more fully, their commission holding that Scripture is "one organic whole without contradiction and error."

...late Hall Caine was a novelist who knew his Bible. He drew from Scripture the theme of many a bestseller ( The Deemster, The Bondman, The Eternal City, etc.). During his lifetime (1853-1931), Author Caine was known to be working on a life of Christ. Upon his death, his executors discovered no less than 3,000,000 words of manuscript, revisions and notes, based upon five trips he made to Palestine, 1,000 volumes of source materials he had read during 39 years. Hall Caine's Life of Christ in its final draft (650,000 words, 1,310 pages...
