The Doctor's Profession

This small book, published for the Christian Frontier Council, hopes "to stimulate discussion of their vocation among groups of Christian doctors and medical students." It is written by a layman, who took part in conversations between various Catholic and nonCatholic doctors, which he sets out to summarise. It is obviously valuable that discussion should occur, and therefore this attempt to provoke it deserves approval; and the book is well worth reading. There is a fair attempt to state the various points of view, that of lhe Catholic, of the non-Catholic, and of the doctor who regards himself as a technician outside religious problems, and it would be too optimistic to expect very much more than this in a small book.
