...spoiler." Hurd would like future viewers to say of his patient, sensitive work, "Here is what the Southwest looked like in the 20th century." Like George Catlin's early sketches of the vanishing Indians or Thomas Moran's pioneer paintings of the Yellowstone, Kurd's testament of art is his way of lingering in an historic land that he must some day leave. It will linger, because Hurd sees beauty in a dust storm, challenge in the parched desert, and ghostly life in a crumbling shack, a broken fence the fragments of a man's dream...
...academic interest. Even opportunities for study of religion outside one's concentration are slowly disappearing, although they were inadequate to start with. History of Religion 101, the introductory survey, was last offered two years ago and is now bracketed with no date for resumption.

After 23 days Handel emerged with his monumental Messiah, the profoundly moving testament of Christian faith that has be come the most revered of all sacred music traditionally performed during the Christmas season...
...doctrine overboard is to betray the faith. Yet an influential minority of Christian thinkers is willing to do just that. It is an unarguable axiom for the Marburg Disciples of Germany's Rudolf Bultmann that Christianity must de-mythologize-that is, translate the essential elements of the New Testament proclamation into terms that relate to man's existential conflict today, while doing away with nonessentials as so much historical ballast. Advocates of Paul Tillich's method of correlation, which attempts to find theological answers in the Christian message to the existential questions posed by modern philosophy...
