Read that book!

Editor's note: World Vision pays to advertise in this magazine and our board of directors can find no reason to discriminate against the organization. Presbyterians work for World Vision, sit on its board and former moderator Rev. Ken McMillan is a tireless ambassador for them.
It is not for the Record to direct PWS&D's ad campaigns, but we do offer preferred advertising rates and placement in our issues to Presbyterian agencies.
The Record values all its advertising clients and the income we receive goes a long way to ensuring we are able to publish stories about the work of the Presbyterian Church — including the important work of PWS&D at home and abroad.
I was very surprised to see the strange version of my letter in the December issue. I certainly didn't say: “I have just finished reading John Visser's excellent biography of W. W. Bryant.” I did say: “I have just finished reading John Visser's excellent book, The Neo-Orthodox Theology of W. W. Bryden.” It is the theology that is significant, not Dr. Bryden's life, inspiring as it was.
I also said that it was “the,” rather than “a,” most stimulating book on theology since my reading of Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich, but this is a small point of clarity.
I'm afraid the letter as you printed it wouldn't encourage anyone to read a book recommended by someone so inattentive as to call Dr. Bryden, W.W. Bryant, or to mistake this vital book on theology as a biography.
