About This Issue: November 22, 1963

Our issue for Universal Bible Sunday (December 8) features statements on Scripture by seven well-known Christians. Related articles include Professor Cailliet’s account of the place of the Bible in his conversion and Dr. Metzger’s assessment of the King James, the Revised Standard, and the Phillips Versions, and the New English Bible. An editorial points to the power of the Bible as an educating force for all people.

Interpreting past events in a Christian light comes under the scrutiny of Dr. McGill.… A controversial drama by Rolf Hochhuth focuses attention on the late Pope Pius XII (see Current Religious Thought, page 50).
