The Journal of Religion
Issued by the Divinity Conference of the University of Chicago
Edited by GERALD BIRNEY SMITH
WHAT IS IT?
It is not a Journal of Homiletics. There are already excellent
journals in this field.
It is not an organ of propaganda. There is already an abundance
of propaganda of various sorts, good and bad, in the religious world.
It is not a periodical for technical archaeological investigation
or for the critical analysis of historical documents. Other journals
are ably promoting this valuable work of scholarship.
It is an organ for the promotion of the historical method of
studying religion.
WHAT IS THE HISTORICAL METHOD?
Every religion has a real history. Some religions grow and
expand. Others dwindle and die. All of them have times of success-
ful growth and times of decline. Why does religion exist at all?
What makes a religion grow ? Why do some religions die ? What
can be done to keep a religion from losing its power? These are
important questions. If they can be answered, every religious
leader can walk with surer step.
The Journal of Religion exists to help further the investiga-
tion of the historical conditions entering into the actual development
of religious life and organization. The understanding of the forces
which entered into the shaping of any religion in any period of history
furnishes a basis for the estimation of our own problems. With the
aid of psychologists and sociologists the interpretation of what has
occurred in the past can be correlated with our study of present-day
religion. Such co-operation in a common task the Journal attempts
to promote.
THE JOURNAL OF RELIGION
WHY YOU SHOULD SUBSCRIBE TO THE
JOURNAL OF RELIGION
i. Because it is definitely planned to furnish the best possible
scholarly discussions of religion and its interests. It is issued under
the direction of the Divinity Faculty of the University of Chicago.
It has on its staff of contributors many of the leading scholars of the
world. It expects and welcomes that spirit of candid, fearless investi-
gation which prevails in all scientific journals, believing that a better
knowledge of the facts will always lead to a better organization of
religion.
2. Because it deliberately emphasizes the discussion of the problems
of vital religion. There are several other journals admirably equipped
to investigate questions concerning documents or literary origins.
But the scientific study of religion is pressing back of documents and
records to the actual life of which the documents are an expression.
Every article accepted for publication in the Journal of Religion
is an interpretation of religion itself, either in some historical develop-
ment, or in its psychological aspect, or in terms of some current
issue of thought or practice, or in the form of missionary enterprise,
or in the endeavor to understand the inner meaning of non-Christian
religions, or in the interpretation of the social implications of religion.
3. Because it furnishes prompt and reliable information concerning
current publications in the field of religion. Every issue contains a
classified list of the latest books with brief critical statements indicat-
ing the scope and value of each book. Important publications are
critically reviewed at length. A special department is devoted to
suggestive comment on significant articles in current magazines and
journals. The Journal is an indispensable guide to a knowledge of
current publications dealing with religion.
SPECIAL FEATURES FOR THE YEAR IQ2 2
i. A series of articles telling just what are the present aims and
achievements of scholarship in the various realms of inquiry and
investigation. What are New Testament scholars investigating
today? What contribution to the knowledge of religion do they
THE JOURNAL OF RELIGION
expect to make? How are scholars defining religion? What are
the present tendencies in religious thinking? What conception of
the missionary enterprise is dominating missionary effort today?
These and other questions will be discussed by competent authorities.
2 . Interpretations of religion as expressed in action today. In these
times of social and political unrest, religion is striving mightily to find
ways in which it may help to point the way to the highest spiritual
values. In the Orient, in Europe, in America, what is religion doing
in these stirring days ?
3. The frank analysis of current issues. What is to be done with
Modernism in Protestantism? What is to be said concerning the
movement for Church Unity ? How far have ministers the right and
the duty to speak on social and industrial issues ? Is the future of
Christianity to be organized in terms of our present denominations,
or are new lines of cleavage to be established? These and other
questions will receive constant attention.

The Dramatization
of Bible Stories
By ELIZABETH E. MILLER, Instructor in Art in the School
of Education, The University of Chicago
*I A book which presents cogent reasons
for leading children to dramatize great
religious stories — develops the process of
creating drama from biblical stories-
shows stories in all stages of development
by children engaged in their dramatiza-
tion — suggests simple and practical di-
rections for staging.
fl This book gives the methods and results of an
experiment that has been carried on by the author
for several years, in adapting striking biblical
stories for dramatic presentation by children. The
book is educationally sound in that its purpose is
to train the children in the process of dramatiza-
tion, rather than to produce elaborate and finished
dramatic effects.

The Religion of the Psalms
By J. M. P. SMITH
Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature
University of Chicago
Books about the Psalms come and go; the Psalms go on forever.
They belong to the permanent literature of the race.
In his preface the author gives the purpose of his volume as follows:
"The aim of this book is to bring out the significance of the Psalms as in-
dicative of the religious and moral standards of later Judaism." Later he
says that it is his desire to present the meaning of the Psalms as it lay in
the minds of their authors and earliest readers.
This book will be welcomed by all ministers and other students of bib-
lical literature. It furnishes a delightful course of study for an adult group
in either mid-week service or Sunday school.

Dante: Poet and Apostle
By ERNEST HATCH WILKINS
Professor of Romance Languages, University of Chicago
Written and published in commemoration of the six hundredth anni-
versary of Dante's death.
This little book contains the lectures delivered in 1921 at Columbia
University and the University of Chicago.
The author discusses "The Years of Preparation," Dante's lyric poetry,
his conception of the whole scheme of life, his resolution to serve as apostle
of _ the temporal joy and of the eternal joy, and his masterpiece "The
Divine Comedy as Poetry."
In writing of Dante's apostleship of the eternal joy Professor Wilkins
considers those elements of Dante's deep religious insight which retain their
illuminating value for the Christian world of the present day.

An Introduction to the Science
of Sociology
By
ROBERT E. PARK
Professorial Lecturer on Sociology
and
ERNEST W. BURGESS
Assistant Professor of Sociology
The University of Chicago
This book is based on the belief that concrete material, placed in the students'
hands, makes possible a clearer understanding of the principles of sociology
than has been possible with the method of presentation in the past. The
experience of the Department of Sociology in the University of Chicago for
the last three years, during which this method has been tried out and the
material compiled, has demonstrated its superior value.
The book consists of a collection of readings selected to define and illustrate
the concepts and principles of sociology. It is designed for the first course in
sociology and is a textbook and book of readings combined.
Material is not taken from textbooks. The extracts vary from two hundred
to three thousand words in length and represent the central combination of
the first-hand research of various writers. Approximately seventy-five pages
are devoted to bibliographies.
The work falls into fourteen chapters, as follows:
I. Introduction VIII. Competition
II. Human Nature IX. Conflict
III. Society and the Group X. Accommodation
IV. Isolation XI. Assimilation
V. Social Contacts XII. Social Control
VI. Social Interaction XIII. Collective Behavior
VII. Social Forces XIV. Social Progress

LEARNING AND LIVING
By EPHRAIM EMERTON
Nine essays on one phase or another of the academic life: its duties and
rewards, the relation of the university to parents and students, and a few
definite problems of the curriculum. Professor Emerton emphasizes the
vital relation between education and the larger life of the Republic, so that
the volume expresses those distinctive American standards which are so often
only vaguely or carelessly defined. 325 pages. $3.00
IMMORTALITY AND THEISM
By WILLIAM WALLACE FENN
The Ingersoll Lecture for 1021. After some consideration of the asser-
tions and coincidences of psychical research, Dean Fenn discusses the subject
of immortality from the point of view of theism — a belief in personality as
the source and sum of all values and ideals, best apprehended by us intellec-
tually in the form of purpose animating and unifying all reality. The book
thus summarizes wider ranges of thought than its particular topic. $1.00
FUGITIVE ESSAYS
By JOSIAH ROYCE
A collection of papers written mainly during Professor Royce's early days
in California and hitherto virtually inaccessible, buried as they have been in

Introduction analyzes Royce's mature philosophical thought and traces the
relation between these essays and such later volumes as The World and the
Individual and The Problem of Christianity. $4.00
BUDDHIST LEGENDS
Translated by EUGENE W. BURLING AME
These stories are the preponderating element of the Dhammapada Com-
mentary, and present a counterpart to the Legends of the Christian Saints.
Since they resemble many well-known stories of medieval literature, Oriental
and European, they will be of much interest to students of comparative liter-
ature; and at the same time the work is an admirable preparative for the
study of the more difficult Buddhist books in the original. It is hard to over-
state the value and convenience of the Introduction, Synopses, and various
Indexes. The work is Volumes 28, 29, and 30 of the Harvard Oriental Series.
Volumes are not sold separately. $15.00 a set
