The Seed of the Church in China . By Muriel Boone. Philadelphia: United Church Press for Pilgrim Press, 1973. 287 pp. $695.

At points the church historian who peruses this volume will be frustrated by Frazier's lack of precision in the use and misinterpretation of historical data, and by Lincoln's tacit assumption that his readers are familiar with the events upon which he bases his interpretations and conclusions. One could wish that Lincoln had updated and supplemented Frazier and that there had been greater continuity in his essays with the sociological objectives which were set forth in the first work. Frazier's work is clearly useful to the advanced student of the Black religious experience who will benefit from its insights without being seduced by its several deficiencies. Lincoln's essays are useful as interpretations of currents within the Blackamerican religious community. A bonus in the book is the appendix which contains six documents relating to the subjects Lincoln treats.
