"The Productive Beliefs" by Lynn Harold Hough. The president of Northwestern University adds a profitable volume to the lengthening list of Cole Lectures at Vanderbilt University. The general content of the book may be seen from the titles of the six chapters: "The Adventurous God," "The Invading of Evil," "The Imperial Personality," "The Vital Meaning of the Cross," "The Infinite Nearness of God," "The Social Life of God." These beliefs Dr. Hough regards as "productive," and therefore worthy of supreme recognition by man. He does not adopt pragmatism as a metaphysic; but he uses it with precision here as a standard of validation in belief. The chapter of greatest value is on "The Vital Meaning of the Cross." The Incarnation, when it really lays hold on the mind, conscience, and heart of man, does bring God within our reach so that he passes from an idea to an experience. Then it reveals the worth of our own life. "If God believes that you are worth Calvary, you cannot quite completely doubt yourself." And the Cross is especially potent now. "So the man of today finds an immediate point of contact with Jesus. Just at the moment when in the midst of all the unlovely cynicism of the early days of reconstruction he is wondering if in the days of peace he will ever again hear sounded that high and awful note of glorious and passionate sacrifice, he meets the supreme sacrifice of history, a deed which speaks with direct and summoning power to the lonely man who feared that the world had never again for him the thrill of a supreme experience." The Christian beliefs are simple but mighty and they shine here with new brilliance. - The Biblical World , Vol. 54
