I write this just before departing for Athens, with stops in Cairo, Jerusalem, Beirut, Babylon, and Istanbul. I always find that upon my return to the States I have a greater appreciation of home, even the smoggy air of Washington. I have already voted, of course, and I won’t be altogether sorry to miss the last few weeks of campaigning. Political campaigns seem to bring out the worst in people, including myself. How easy it is to suppose that the candidates I support have virtues foreign to their opponents.
This issue of CHRISTIANITY TODAY ranges widely over the Christian spectrum. Betty Elliot has a good word on Thanksgiving, and James Manz has one on prayer. Martin Rosen tells why he thinks young Jews are returning to Christ (Rosen himself is a “fulfilled Jew”). Then J. Edwin Orr speaks about the unhappy situation in Northern Ireland. No one should overlook the fact that Marxists and Maoists are fishing in these troubled waters.
D. G. Kehl describes Satan’s deceptive, fallacious logic. And, to fill out our cornucopia of good things, Faith Winger gives a bibliography for Palestine/Israel, and John Wagner tells about evangelicals in the Episcopal Church.
