The almost overwhelming flow of religious books continues to pour forth from the publishers. It appears that 1969 will be another banner year, certainly insofar as quantity is concerned. The following list is prepared from information provided by the publishers and is intended to give the reader an overview of the religious publishing field as well as to call his attention to individual volumes that may be of particular interest to him.

Topics that have been in the spotlight during the past year—ecumenics, social issues, situation ethics, the nature and authority and mission of the Church, the historical roots of the Gospels—continue to be priority items.

Evangelical readers will be delighted at the prospect of further works from such outstanding writers as S. Barton Babbage, G. C. Berkouwer, F. F. Bruce, Vernon Grounds, Carl F. H. Henry, J. W. Montgomery, Leon Morris, Bernard Ramm, Francis Schaeffer, J. R. W. Stott, and Cornelius Van Til.

Although we will be able to judge the quality of this year’s crop only as the books begin to appear, we have indicated with an asterisk the volumes that publishers consider their most significant religious publications.
