A CRUCIAL HALF CENTURY OF RELIGION - Keith W Stump - February 1984

Keith W Stump

We highlight the most significant developments. If you had been in your 20s at the time of The Plain Truth's inception in 1934, you would have lived your adult life during a momentous time in the world of religion. In the past half century, several great events and issues of the day have centered, in whole or part, around religion. Had you been a Plain Truth reader during these five decades, you would have been kept abreast of those developments-and their significance in Bible prophecy. As the first issue of The Plain Truth made its bow, a special Holy Year was underway in Rome. It was proclaimed by Pope Pius XI to commemorate the 19th centenary of the crucifixion (A.D. 33 by official Catholic reckoning). During the 50 years that were to follow, you would have witnessed momentous changes in the Roman Catholic Church. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
