Editor’s Note from December 30, 1977

We’re ending the current year by printing an interview with Cornelius Van Til. People who know him either strongly agree or disagree with his views; middle ground with him is impossible. The basic question that he raises is fundamental to any theological system. How one starts will determine how and where one ends up. Read this important interview carefully.

What’s ahead in 1978? Nobody really knows except God. Christians enter the New Year, not with complacency or unfounded optimism, but with quiet confidence and hope. We know the One who knows, and he holds our hands. Come what may—in darkness or daylight—all is well. A happy New Year to all of you.
