Schillebeeckx (pronounced shill-a-bakes) is an ardent advocate of change and renewal within the church. A Flem ish Belgian who teaches at the University of Nijmegen, he was a major influence on the revolutionary and highly popular "Dutch Catechism" .(TIME, Dec. 1). His voluminous writings, all of which have been published with episcopal imprimaturs, blend insights from Thomas Aquinas and modern existentialists, and his opinions are frequently provocative. He believes, for example, that Mary's perpetual virginity is symbolic rather than a biological fact. The resurrection, he suggests, does not imply the physical recomposition of Jesus' body...
Most of the Latin is gone from the Mass. Students at a once WASP-ish university now stuff themselves with pizza from a truck in Freedom Square. But East Cambridge residents can still count on one constant in their lives--the sidewalks beneath their feet...
...Britain's brilliant historian (The Congress of Vienna) and diarist, who in Volumes I (1930-39) and II (1939-45) of Diaries and Letters gave a penetrating analysis of the Establishment; in Kent, England.

Though he has lived in the U.S. since the late 1930s and became a U.S. citizen in 1941, he has resisted total Americanization, and maintains a reasonable facsimile of a British stiff upper lip. He has lost much of his Brit ish accent, but then it is not American either; it has been dubbed a "NATO accent." Always keeping an eye cocked for"what's American in America," he brings an outsider's enthusiasm to the U.S. scene, putting old landmarks in a new light. "On a cold foggy night," he wrote...
...name was Yehoshuah, which was translated as 'Iησοûs in Greek and lesus in Latin; the latter, in turn, be came Jesus. No one expects the campus trend to dispel the doc trinal differences between Judaism and Christianity. But as Michael Zeik, a Jew ish professor at Catholic Marymount College in Tarrytown, N.Y., puts it, such scholarship will help Christians and Jews "go beyond the sentimental hand-holding stage." Last week Catita Williams, 20, a pretty Episcopal coed at Georgetown, confessed that before she enrolled in her school's new course in Judaism...
