Today's Students Fail to Grasp Symbols: Gilkey (u onrmuea from page one) Preachers must endeavor to put across their points in the student's own language because the language of the St. James Bible is foreign to the student.” Other Literature Included The situation carries over into the student's appreciation of other great literature making it diffi cult, if not impossible, for him to enjoy. He cannot read Shakespeare or Kipling with any adequate und erstanding because our Bible was a frequent source on which they depended. Modern authors too, rely on the Bible, he said. The works of Arn old Toynbee are crowded with il lustrations and extended parables from the King James Bible. Contemporary religious illiteracy is not limited to literature and Biblical interpretation. The re ligious illiterate will graduate from college and find himself in a situation where he lacks “religious ballast.” He is either upset or off balance because he fails to under stand any of the great truths. He niay fall victim to religious prose lyting propaganda, accept the pre cepts of a faith he does not under stand, and one day be forced to meet the ultimate issues of life, unprepared. •Learn to Use Symbols’ We must learn to use the sym bols for that mysterious reality we cannot fully understand, Dr. Gil key explained. God is greater than human speech. We must use symbols to understand him and his lessons. The profoundest ex amples of human loyalty and love are expressed in this way. Our relationship with God is revealed in human relationships at their best. These relationships cannot thrive on what some theo logians define as “Vitamin I"— setting our own needs and welfare before those of our fellow beings. We need more of “Vitamin U.” interest in others and faith in God. To achieve our ideal concept of ourselves, we must learn to recog nize these truths through the sym bols in which they are presented, Dr. Gilkey stated.
