"[T]o read the New Testament at any point is an exercise that drives us back into the Old Testament. We cannot be genuine New Testament readers and believers without knowing, probing and understanding the Old.....[W]ithout the Old Testament we do not know Jesus properly.

Peter Gunter, a North Texas State University professor, wrote in 1970, “Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions….By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.”
