it, neither Luther nor Calvin wrote com­ Che Guevara still warn us that the world's mentaries on it, and Luther even went so poor have heard the message of Dien- far as to express the wish that it did not bienphu. Today's Christians easily move exist. Nor is it a favorite book with many from the premise that Jesus was not a Christians today. Yet, if only because it revolutionist to the conclusion that he also does exist and is included in our Bibles, was not a revolutionary.
