...have been authenticated by historical evidence and that David may have been a real person who wrote some of the Psalms. Lest readers be carried away by such admissions, Alexander Osipov, an ex-priest turned unbeliever, warns in a critical epilogue against taking the Bible seriously as a historical document. None of this discouraging propaganda, however, had much effect on religious Russians, most of whom have had to rely on Bibles printed before the Revolution.

In Authority in the Church, he contends that the church should have its own unique understanding of authority: not power and control but, as Jesus clearly indicated, humble service and love. Too often, argues McKenzie, church leaders have forgotten this divine instruction and adopted secular standards in its place. McKenzie points out that "the Basilica of St. Peter...
