Perspective

We’ve been listening to you, our readers, and this is what we’ve heard.

First, we don’t visit you often enough. Four times a year is so infrequent that sometimes when a new issue arrives, you forget who we are.

We are responding to this complaint, made by many of our readers, by increasing our frequency. Beginning with this issue, Bible Review will become a bimonthly. BR will now come to you regularly every other month, six times a year.

Of course, that will significantly increase our costs, so we ask that you send us your renewal payments promptly to save us the expense of repeated reminders. We would also appreciate it if you would consider giving subscriptions to Bible Review as gifts. (Gift coupon appears on inside front cover.) A subscription to BR is a thoughtful, flattering gift for which anyone interested in the Bible will be most grateful. And the recipients will think of you each time a copy of BR arrives—every other month.

Some of you have also told us that you don’t need so many color photos of old masters’ paintings to illustrate the articles. We won’t eliminate them altogether, but we will keep the number down.

We are also planning to include more basic introductory articles and more general articles—again, in response to your requests. We hope to present a greater number of short articles as well.

All these changes bode well for the future, and we look forward to it with great excitement.
