...seeks a different tone at the ungodly hour of 8 a.m., Prof. Krister Stendahl holds forth in Humanities S-118, "Introduction to the New Testament." Another view of our problems and how to solve them is presented at the same hour by Dr. George W. Goethals in Social Relations S-147, "Theories of Personality." Goethals is a refreshing departure from the typical "soc rel" man who is usually reduced, according to one concentrator, "to giving different names to the same few things one learns in every other course...

...quest of the historical Jesus has raised almost as many Christian hackles as the old one did. Non-Bultmannite Biblical critics, such as William Albright of Johns Hopkins, contend that the Marburgers are too skeptical in rejecting so much of the New Testament as unhistorical. Other theologians complain that in place of the humanist Jesus produced by the old quest, the new quest is shaping an existentialist one. Karl Earth grandly dismissed the quest as an irrelevant project...
