This issue celebrates the father. The Saviour Lord specially instructs us to call God “our Father.” And the Bible sets a human father boldly in the role in locus dei (in place of God). What should a true father be like? He should be like God. Frightening, dreadful—an ennobling thought. Tom Howard brings fresh insights to an old theme.
