Dear Sir,

Kenneth J. Stewart is right to point out in his July letter that I should have been more careful in my statements about Pietism in the 18th century. All sorts of helpful changes came from this German-based renewal movement and we benefit from them to this day. Church historian G. R. Cragg is similarly positive. He devotes an entire page to its merits in his The Church and the Age of Reason (Pelican 1970).

Dear en,

I was thankful for Chris Wright’s gentle corrective in the April edition. I should have expressed more appreciation for The Cape Town Commitment because it is full of helpful affirmations and observations.

Dear Sir,

We are glad that Bob Alloway (Nov en) seems to agree with our main point (Oct en) that the image of God in man has to do with our intrinsic nature. He says: ‘… theistic evo-lutionists would agree that (Adam and Eve) were designed – and would say, ‘[human beings] didn’t just evolve by chance’.
