About This Issue: March 13, 1964

Christ died. The threshold article examines the how (see the opposite page), and author Walfred Erickson probes the why (page 4). Our lead editorial in this pre-Good Friday issue underscores the Cross-event as the focal point in the divine plan. And because of the relation of the Cross to the empty tomb, this issue also looks forward to the Resurrection (see “That Immortal Sea,” by Lon Woodrum, page 6).

Is it reasonable to ask who was “most responsible” for the crucifixion of Christ? Our editorial associate James Daane, commenting on a study being conducted by the Anti-Defamation League, lays down some important guidelines for combating anti-Semitism.
