...study of fresh currents in modern theology. Last month, for example, Drew imported a number of ranking European thinkers for a seminar on hermeneutics-the science of reinterpreting the Bible's message for contemporary man. Out of this environment is emerging a new generation of preachers who sometimes annoy their elders by their contempt for church routine, but please them by their sense of commitment. "If they stay in the church," says one seminary professor, "at least they know why they are there...
Momma, Momma, Momma. Cassius' narcissistic posturing was not meant to convince. "Actually," he confided, "I respect Liston. That look of his shakes me."

Nor are the plot and characters so novel. The salvation of the fallen woman, Carol, after her final rejection of environment, friends, and lover has been told before; the twist of using the reactivated love of her crude paramour Morey instead of that of a new Prince Charming is the only originality. Hart's background characters...
