About This Issue: March 12, 1965

This issue features several articles on Christology. Dr. Bromiley lists what is to be learned from the baptism of Jesus. Dr. Clowney shows how the whole structure of the Word of the Lord points to him who is Lord of the Word. Dr. Stoessel deals with Christ as the ultimate example, and Dr. Allis discusses the role of the blood at the Lord’s table.

Dean Linton’s essay discusses the fallacies in the dogma of human perfectibility. To try to understand history without allowing for the reality of evil is to make of man’s past a conundrum, he says.

The CT archives are a rich treasure of biblical wisdom and insight from our past. Some things we would say differently today, and some stances we've changed. But overall, we're amazed at how relevant so much of this content is. We trust that you'll find it a helpful resource.
