...jail recently for threatening to kill a man. Only a month ago, the family's hot blood ran true-and freely-when Patriarch Norval Raymond, 69, blasted a son-in-law in the face with a shotgun.

Especially valuable, therefore, is a book of Barth lectures just published, The Humanity of God (John Knox Press; $2.50). The book is a short, readable indication of recent developments in Barth's Bible-centered theology, and points up some conspicuous changes in his thinking...
