Our Ageless Bible. By T. L. Irishman. Nelson. 154 pp. Index.
Mr Leishman is a graduate of Edinburgh University, who has already written a concise but useful Bible handbook. “Our Ageless Bible” is a history of the way “in which the Bible in English has reached the modern reader.” The idea of such a history js hardly novel; but Mr Leishman is a master of clear expression. He selects the facts that seem valuable to him and presents them attractively. having regard to the findings of modern scholarship. To those interested in Biblical studies parts of this book may be familiar; but everyone would find something new and interesting in the chapters the author devotes to the Revised Standard Version and to the general significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
