Editor’s Note from February 15, 1974

Our interview with Billy Graham on Watergate (January 4 issue) has, at this writing, been quoted in newspapers having a circulation in excess of 25 million. The response has, predictably, ranged from passionate assertions that Mr. Nixon can do no wrong to heated avowals that he can do no right.

The next issue, March 1, is our book issue, with comprehensive surveys of the 1973 crop of religious books. It will also have a penetrating essay on Thomas Aquinas, who died 700 years ago this March. CHRISTIANITY TODAY is sponsoring a Christo Awards Competition to encourage excellence in religious advertising and will give three prizes for the best advertisements in the book issue. The judges are professionals, but I would like to get opinions from our readers also. A ballot box in that issue will enable you to tell me which three advertisements please you the most. And you can check your opinion against that of the judges when their decision is announced.

My book The World, the Flesh, and the Devil has gone into a second printing. It has a chapter on the Devil, a personage of increasing interest to people because of The Exorcist.

Also in this issue

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.
