Editor’s Note from February 18, 1972

This year, instead of having all our articles surveying last year’s books in one issue, we are spreading them over three issues and doubling the number of articles. The first two appear in this issue. We hope our readers will profit from this attempt at greater coverage of current books.

In the editorial pages we have listed choice books by evangelicals that merit wide readership. This means not that we necessarily approve all that is written in them but that we think they are well worth reading. We also hope our readers can use this list to spur greater awareness of quality evangelical writing among the general public. School, college, and public libraries would not be so weak in evangelical holdings if Christians were more energetic in promoting titles like these to librarians.

The political arena is doing its quadrennial stint as a marketplace where presidential aspirants parade their wares. This year there are more booths than usual; the shopper may well feel bewildered by the abundant array. What we hope to find is a seller whose offerings are distinguished by an open commitment to Jesus Christ and the promise to provide leadership based upon the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount.
