Brief Notices on Bowen and Macduff Religious Works
Dr Hanna highlights the life of Rev. Georce Bowen of Bombay and his migration from infidelity to faith, noting his twenty five years in Bombay and a yearlong daily meditation format. J R Macourr’s Healing Waters of Israel, in eleven discourses by J R Macduff, is critiqued for ornate style and overreaching Old Testament to New Testament readings.
