Editor’s Note from August 06, 1976

The Danish Embassy is still receiving a flood of mail about the projected porno film on the life of Christ. In our April 23 issue we reported that no government funding, direct or indirect, would be supplied by Denmark. No more letters are needed: mission accomplished!

This issue is dated August 6, three—rather than the usual two—weeks after the previous one. We do this twice during the summer to allow for staff vacations. The next issue will be dated August 27.

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.
