Thomas describes his study bt
Romans as giving the material
'1a 'depth' treatment and thus it
truly fulfills its obligations to be
n guide.' The forty page book be-
gins with an outline of all sixteen
chapters.
The lessons themselves con-
sist of questions to be answered
by the help of commentaries and
the text.
"When all the questions are
clearly answered" says Thomas
"you should understand the mes-
sage of Romans."
Dr. Speck has written a ninety
page Old Testament survey study
for the Living Word series. Each
lesson consists of a discussion of
th facts of the lesson some sug-
gestions for teaching procedures
and teaching materials and a
group of questions to "promote
good study and to stimulate con-
structive thinking" tho author
says.
Speck has also had published
a study book entitled The
Church's Educiional Program.
This is a complete revision of The
Church and Her Ideal Educa-
tional Situation written by Jesse
P. Sowell and Henry Eli Speck
Sr. father of the present Tcvlscr.
Speck states in the book that
both Sewell and his father en-
couraged him to revise the old
text Five years went Into the re-
writing of the book.
"There is enough basic theory
and philosophy to make it solid
and well-founded" states Speck.
"However it is intended to be a
book of practical know-how."
