...devote far too little time to research, reading and writing in sermon preparation. As a result their poorly constructed, poorly thought out addresses wander from point to point, and listeners' minds wander too. Lack of effort is not necessarily a sign of sloth. Ministers increasingly are expected to bear heavy loads of counseling and administration that nibble away their time. One rule of thumb is to spend "an hour in the study for each minute in the pulpit." But many modern preachers say they are lucky to manage half that...

...Third World countries bear quite the same burden. While scarcely in the OPEC league, Argentina, Peru, Malaysia and some others can supply most energy needs from their own reserves. At the other extreme, countries such as Sudan, Chad and Bangladesh, among others, are so poor that the shortage of funds to buy oil is just one more lack on a long list of basic needs...

...dances bear the lean, angular, unmistakable signature of Agnes De Mille. Some of them are rodeo-hoydenish and others are balletically romantic. The songs, of course, are a Comstock lode of golden oldies from People Will Say We're in Love to Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin '. You won't just be humming these tunes as you leave the theater.

...clear that the author is heavily influenced by liberal Protestant Bible scholarship of the past century. In this modern approach, the Gospels are not the unquestioned Word of God but collections of competing evidence about Jesus Christ, various layers of tradition subject to interpretation that may or may not bear resemblance to what the historical Jesus did or said. English-language reviewers of Jesus have been less confounded and perplexed about Schillebeeckx's notion of Jesus' divinity than about his murky meditations on whether Jesus rose bodily from the grave or merely lived on through some miraculous renewal...
