New book argues Jesus embraced sexuality, not abstinence
William E. Phipps in The Sexuality of Jesus contends Jesus grew up in a culture that valued marriage, denying Greco Roman ideas of bodily detachment. He argues Jesus was married, denied by no childhood stereotype, and that early Christians borrowed Greek views on the body. The work, from Harper & Row, surveys historical, philosophical and literary opinions on Jesus sexuality and notes Jesus defended women's equal rights.

Adventists urged to double their giving in 1974
Adventists are urged to increase mission giving, aiming to double the per capita amount from 425 dollars as dollar devaluation strains overseas programs. Herbert Post cites a 36 million dollar overseas budget for 1974, higher than 1973 but still not enough to offset buying power loss. The discussion links stewardship, drug abuse awareness, youth outreach, and church responsibility to support gospel work amid economic challenges.
