...Many a Christian, disgusted by prosaic sermons, repelled by archaic dogma and beset by honest doubts, will find renewed hope in your Dec. 25 issue. No reform-social, political or religious-filters down from the top; it rises from the bottom, out of an undeniable need.

...rearrange its cargo of dogma for the hard sailing ahead. Many Roman Catholics and Protestants feel that the primary theological task is re-translation of traditional concepts into contemporary accents, and that to toss doctrine overboard is to betray the faith.

He speaks of compassion far more than justice; he stresses understanding and deprecates revenge. Dramatically different from the leftist radicalism of the '30's and the civil rights militance of the 60's, his is the "soft" liberalism of the 40's--a liberalism which fades rather easily into paternalism...
