Jung on Evil
Published in Paperback by Princeton Univ Pr (08 July, 1996)
Authors: Murray Stein and Carl Gustav Jung
Average review score:

An excellent introduction to Jung's thought in his own words
This is an excellent introduction to a central area in Jung's thought Evil, the Shadow Side and its integration with the rest of the personality.

The selections from Jung's writings are excellent and there are extensive explanatory footnotes from the editor.

Jung will convince you that those who supress their shadow side soon see it in others and that one's shadow side has to be accepted not denied.

The book contains extensive selections from Answer to Job as well as hard to obtain Jung writings (unless you want to shell out a thousand dollars for his Collected Works).

Throught the book, Jung's compassion, vast erudition, and many and varied insights shine through.


Kew Gardens: Urban Village in the Big City
Published in Paperback by Kew Gardens Council for Recreation (April, 1999)
Authors: Barry Lewis, Murray H. Berger, and Martin Hack
Average review score:

An interesting look at a perfect neighborhood
Kew Gardens, a village in Queens about twelve miles from Manhattan, has been home to movie stars and Broadway performers (Charlie Chaplin, Miriam Hopkins, and Will Rogers), authors (Anais Nin and Dorothy Parker), and even Nobel Prize winners (Ralph Bunche). In many ways it has been a community ahead of its time.

Author Barry Lewis is a New York native who has lived in Kew Gardens for thirty years. He teaches architecture and interior design in New York City and has contributed to a number of guide books. As a resident of the neighborhood, I was happy to come upon this nicely researched, amply illustrated, and intelligently written book on one of New York's more successful and resilient residential communities. Lewis does a good job of giving the history of the Kew Gardens and of explaining how it differed from other experiments to create residential garden communities within large cities in the early part of the twentieth century. He explains how the tone was set at the very beginning by the community's developers, Albon Man and his offspring. They sought to create a workable diversity within a harmonious whole: both commercial and residential, with both private homes and apartment buildings, and which allowed a number of architectural styles. The flavor of the community was also one of diversity (unlike its neighbor, Forest Hills, Jews and people in the performing arts were welcome from the beginning). Residents of the community will certainly enjoy reading this book. But so will students of urban planning and architecture.

The book includes a bibliography consisting mostly of articles cited in the text; it would have been more helpful if it also listed a few more comprehensive works on urban development and architecture. The book could also have benefited from a glossary of architectural terms, an index, and a walking tour that would take people past significant landmarks discussed in the text.


Key to the Missionary Problem
Published in Paperback by Christian Literature Crusade (December, 1981)
Authors: Andrew Murray and Leona Choy
Average review score:

Christian Missions The Way It Ought To Be & How it can be.
In 1901, New York City was the site of a large and important Christain Missions Conference. No less than revivalists and missionary luminaries, Dwight Moody, Smith Wigglesworth and Hudson Taylor tried to persuade Andrew Murray of South Africa to minister wtih them. Andrew Murray declined - twice. The Missions Conference sessions were transcribed in their entirity and the manuscript sent to Murray. The Key to the Missionary Problem is his discerning and insightful response. He outlines in brief what he understood the other participants to say before launching an answer that hits a bullseye not even targeted by the others. A highligt from Chapter three gives a brilliant history of the Moravians (the present-day Brethren Congregationalists), the most successful missionary sending church since the days of Pentecost. Chapter six sets out a description of the evidence of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life that should delight and challenge even todays believers. The Key to the Missionary Problem is a "must read" for all of us who hold dear the ideal of a personal walk with Jesus Christ.

A great book
This book is so interesting! Everytime I pick it up I forget how much of it I forgot. It has a lot of great lessons, including How to Negotiate, Give A Manicure, Train Your Dog to Catch a Frisby, Do HTML and how to Follow the Stock Market. This book she be more advertised, in my opinion. I am so dissapointed that there's no sequel....

Law, Life, and the Living God: The Third Use of Law in Modern American Lutheranism
Published in Paperback by Concordia Publishing House (January, 2002)
Author: Scott R. Murray
Average review score:

Scholarly History of Third Use of the Law in U.S. Lutheran
This is a valuable retracing of the history of the third use of the Law in American Lutheran circles.

Originally published as Ph.D. dissertation, Murray provides us with a well researched and footnoted source of this interchange in Lutheran theology about the third use of the law.

Central themes jump out from one's reading which are most useful. One's view on the Law definitely affects one's view of the Gospel. Thus, antinomianism is destructive of the pure Gospel. Further, the allowance of existentialism into theology caused Lutheran scholars to achieve an unfaithful hermeneutic of Law/Gospel which leads to removal of any Law. The history here on simul was fascinating. Its retranslation to sequential explains the resultant mistakes.

Broken into three historical periods: 1940-60; 1961-76 and 1977-98 was most helpful and allows the reader insight into developments and influences. Prolegomena is significant here, as Murrray so aptly points out as the discussion progresses.

Enjoyed very much the intellectual rigor the author held to, and his succinct running commentary. Excellent work to understand what's at stake in the debate over third use and what has occurred on the theological battlefield to date. Will benefit the church significantly.

The Libertarian Forum, 1969-1971/3 Volumes in One
Published in Hardcover by Ayer Co Pub (April, 1979)
Authors: Murray N. Rothbard and Karl Hess
Average review score:

A piece of history
If you can get ahold of a copy of this wonderful volume--and if you have any interest in the history of the libertarian/anarchist movement in the 20th century whatsoever--do so immediately! My copy is so dear to me that I refuse to lend it out to ANYONE!

This book is actually made up of bound actual copies of the first issues of Murray Rothbard's classic "Libertarian Forum" newsletter. Besides Rothbard's insight about the events of those years, 1968-71, it includes some wonderful analysis and revolutionary writing from Karl Hess, Jerome Tuccille, Leonard Liggio, Butler Shaffer, and many others. This stuff is priceless!
