Last spring the Harvard Divinity Bulletin celebrated 60 years of publication with a special anniversary issue that included a message from President Neil L. Rudenstine and excerpts from previous issues over the past six decades.

The Bulletin, a quarterly that circulates to 22,000 alumni and friends of Harvard Divinity School, was begun in 1936 by Dean Willard Sperry at the time of Harvard's Tercentenary. Over the years it has included lectures, essays, book reviews, interviews, commentary, and analysis by distinguished members of the Faculty of Divinity, alumni, lecturers, and other scholars and writers.

The sixtieth anniversary issue includes a lecture on religion, death, and photography by Professor Lawrence E. Sullivan, excerpts from a new book by Professor Jon D. Levenson, and review essays on Jones Very, John Updike, and Jonathan Edwards as well as highlights from essays and lectures in past issues by Paul Tillich, Hans Kung, Cleanth Brooks, Clyde Kluckhohn, Howard Thurman, James Cone, Dean Sperry, Arthur Darby Nock, Eugene Borowitz, James Luther Adams, and Professors Elisabeth Schuessler Fiorenza, John B. Carman, and Richard R. Niebuhr.

Since 1992, the Divinity Bulletin has also included a special section of essays, reviews, and commentary on religion and values in public life. The current issue features work by Bill McKibben on environmental ethics, Jean Bethke Elshtain on Vaclav Havel, Constance Schulz on Thomas Jefferson, journalist and Harvard Law School student Samantha Power on Bosnia, and Los Angeles Times reporter John Dart on religion and the media, as well as excerpts from new books by Dean Ronald F. Thiemann and Constance H. Buchanan.
