From 1935 to 1939, the Peabody Museum sponsored an
archaeological expedition at the ancient Pueblo and early Spanish
colonial site of Awatovi on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. The
multidisciplinary project attracted professional and avocational
scholars from a wide range of disciplines. Former lawyer Watson
Smith was, at the time, an enthusiastic amateur archaeologist. He
joined the expedition as a volunteer during the 1936 season and
became one of its most productive researchers, as well as one of
the Southwest's foremost archaeological scholars.
In this classic volume of the Peabody Museum Papers series,
first published in 1952, Smith reported on the remarkable painted
murals found at Awatovi and other Puebloan sites in the underground
ceremonial chambers known as kivas. Now reissued in a stunning
facsimile edition, the volume includes color reproductions of the
original serigraphs by Louie Ewing. Smith's groundbreaking work
first brought to public and scholarly attention the sacred
wall-painting tradition of the aboriginal American Southwest. The
aesthetic power and symbolic imagery of this artistic tradition
still fascinates today. Archaeologists, art historians, collectors,
and artists alike will welcome the return of this long out-of-print
classic.

There is a large demand for a textbook on the history and doctrines
of the Presbyterian Church, to be used in the Sunday Schools,
Pastors' study classes, and the study classes of Young People's and
Women's Societies. In casting about for such a book the
Presbyterian Committee of Publication found ready at home that
charming little book The Creed of Presbyterians, by the Rev. Egbert
Watson Smith, D. D., Executive Secretary of Foreign Missions of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States. It is worthy of note that
this book has already had a far larger circulation than any other
book ever written in America on Presbyterianism. However, The Creed
of Presbyterians is written in popular style for the general reader
and was not primarily intended for a textbook, but the Committee of
Publication hit upon a happy idea, and that was to convert it into
a textbook by dividing it into lessons and adding a list of
questions to be used in connection with each lesson. So we have in
this new edition a book which has all the charm of the original
edition and which can be read without any thought of the classroom,
but at the same time a book which can be instantly converted into a
textbook, by turning to the lesson divisions and questions in the
back. With this new adjustment we believe that The Creed of
Presbyterians will meet in an admirable way the demand for a
textbook on the history and doctrines of the Presbyterian Church.
Practically every question on each lesson can be answered by a
careful study of the pages assigned to that lesson, and it is not
necessary for members of the class to have any other book in
connection with the course. But it will be found helpful to make
frequent reference toencyclopedia articles and to such histories as
members of the class may have. It will also be found helpful to
have at hand an exceedingly interesting and informing book
entitled, The Burning Bush: A Story of the Presbyterian Church, by
J. R. Fleming. With these suggestions we send The Creed of
Presbyterians out upon its new mission as a textbook with the
sincere hope and conviction that it will fill a long felt need. The
questions were prepared by Rev. W. L. Lingle, D. D., of Union
Theological Seminary, Moderator of the General Assembly of 1920.
