Dibelius' objection to Nazism and Communism was mainly theological rather than political: both ideologies, he believed, subverted the Christian faith. An ecumenical pioneer who helped found the World Council of Churches, Dibelius was devoutly evangelical as well as Evangelical. In his sermons he preached his conviction that the Gospel was genuinely God's everlasting, ever-valid word to man. "Lord My God," he wrote in his autobiography, "Your word preserved me from skepticism and contempt, those characteristics of an age alienated from...
Firth emphasized that the war is a moral issue. He summed up his argument with an excerpt from The Gospel According To St. Matthew: "Whatsoever [harms] the least of my brethren [harms...
...elusive, bittersweet quality that gives bite to the blues, soulin' is a Rawls specialty. His style is all his own.

He invited a bunch of friends to the recording studio and recorded Lou Rawls LIVE! to their finger-popping, hand-clapping accompaniment. The album took...
...Editors of the CRIMSON: The report in the Crimson, January 12, "Resurrection Is the Gospel Truth," raises several questions. (1) It does not state under whose auspices the meeting in Lowell Lecture Hall was held. (2) The statement that the Gospels were written "only 15 years after Christ's death" is incredible, and is presumably a misprint or a confusion between "the Gospels" and the old sources of the Gospels. (But the Resurrection narratives in the Gospels are commonly recognized as belonging to the very latest strata in them.) (3) As to the area of agreement of the panel...
