The Myth of God Incarnate critique shocks scholars
Seven British Protestant theologians question Jesus divine status arguing he never claimed to be son of God and that early Christians promoted it under pagan influence. Edited by John Hick the book suggests incarnation language arose from fusion of pagan and Jewish traditions. The authors urge gentle, responsible rethinking to align faith with modern science and philosophy. Jesus as a real man did not present himself as God incarnate and lies at the origin of Christianity.

Carter keeps hope of balanced 1981 budget amid deficits

OMB has reviewed most of the budget and plans austere or enhanced levels for 1979 with possible future cuts to programs and areas like student aid.
