...Terrestrial Messianism." Whatever those instructions, theologians retain faith in a posthumous identity. Insists Catholic Scholar Riga: "An afterlife is simply basic to Christianity. Without it what would you have but a terrestrial messianism interested only in building up the city of man? That surely is not all there is to religion." Declares Stanford's Robert McAfee Brown: "If God is a God of love, if he is ultimate, that which he loves and sustains he will not simply discard." Jesuit Sociologist-Theologian Paul Hilsdale of California's Loyola University believes that the afterlife, whatever its form, must somehow...
...focus on the importance of living may well ease the fear of dying. The new eschatology, contends Calvinist Scholar Franklyn Josselyn of Los Angeles' Occidental College, can offer man "a means of looking at death honestly and with courage.

But in recent months, Lowry, who is currently head of Brown University's art department, has gained national recognition. Last November, when news of Florence's inundation was spread across the headlines, he and colleagues at Brown got on the telephone, called friends across the U.S., overnight formed the Committee to Rescue Italian Art. Since then CRIA, with Lowry as national executive...
...museums, plus a score of enterprising galleries-and many of the Modern Museum's spiritual children stage exhibits more modern than its own. All the same, Lowry believes that the Modern is capable of outpacing them all. This will not be done merely by displaying firsts. Bringing a scholar's eye to the contemporary scene, he will rely on the museum's comprehensive collection of paintings, sculpture, films and architectural designs, hopes to use it to make tomorrow's innovators more understandable and enjoyable by placing them in a historical context...
