About This Issue: March 27, 1964

In recognition of Easter, this issue features a threshold page, an article by F. F. Bruce, and a lead editorial—all on aspects of the Resurrection.

CHRISTIANITY TODAY announces with pleasure the appointment, effective September 1, of Dr. Harold Lindsell as Associate Editor. A professor since 1947 at Fuller Theological Seminary, where he has served as dean of the faculty and vice-president, Dr. Lindsell is widely known for his books on missions and biblical studies. Most recently he has edited the Harper Study Bible (Revised Standard Version), to be published this summer.

Also in this issue

The CT archives are a rich treasure of biblical wisdom and insight from our past. Some things we would say differently today, and some stances we've changed. But overall, we're amazed at how relevant so much of this content is. We trust that you'll find it a helpful resource.
