- At head of title: The Rita and William H. Bell Professorship in Anglican and Ecumenical Studies.
- "Public Lecture, The University of Tulsa, October 23, 1994".
- "The current state of Christian discourse is a shambles. .... Over the past hundred and fifty years or so, we have managed to put the astonishment of the Gospel proclamation not just in the shade but in deep darkness. .... What has occurred, I think, is this. First, we allowed ourselves to be lured into the dull business of answering people's questions about religion instead of throwing ourselves into the fascinating job of astounding them with the bizarreness of what God in Christ has actually done. Second, we bought into the entirely non-Gospel notion that Jesus is the official Boy Scout teacher of morality and that we as his church, therefore, could safely volunteer ourselves as the moral police force of the wrold. Finally, having thus become distracted from our real work, we found ourselves mired instead in the twin dismal swamps of religion and morality -- or, to put a finer, gentler point on it, in the profoundly marginal subjects of apologetics and ethics." -- p. [1-2].

'Being free to choose', he tells us, 'can be, possibly just is, more favourable to sincere and integrated Christianity that compulsion, although it gives us more to do'." -- Foreword.

- "Edited by Dr. Percy Dearmer, Canon of Westminster".
- "The issue, indeed, is simple. The motives and methods of human life are not sufficiently moralised: it was to moralise the machinery of production, to limit the power of selfishness, that Wilberforce and Shaftesbury were working a century ago; and the whole world now enjoys what Christians then won: but in many ways industry and business, and family life, and civic and political activity, need further moralisation. Money -- the necessary use of tokens of exchange -- has been overlooked in its moral aspect (in spite of what Christ said about it) .... And, alas, there was one aspect of human life which was not understood a hundred years ago; and to this our present miseries are mainly due. The very word 'international' had then only just been coined by Jeremy Bentham. The whole conception of moralising international relations was in its infancy. So the world went on to its doom. So, because the nations and their representatives have not yet learnt the elements of international behaviour, we stand at this moment of writing on the brink of irretrievable disaster. It is in a very real sense true that only Christ can save the world from ruin to-day. Are we prepared to let his spirit save the nations from themselves ?" -- Preface, p. 10-11.

- Includes bibliographical references and index of names.
- In this book Preston "begins by evaluating the Christian socialist traditions from which [R.H.] Tawney and Scott Holland gained inspiration. But in the light of its economic weaknesses he goes on to discuss the basic economic problems which any society has to resolve, and the bearing that the Christian social tradition has on them. This leads him to criticize the individualistic philosophy of the `radical Right', which has had a resurgence in the UK and the USA in the last decades; at the same time he questions whether the Christian social theologies in the contemporary church, Catholic or Protestant, have yet to come to grips with these problems. He wishes the churches to be `prophetic', but thinks that what this means needs much closer examination than it usually receives. In the last chapter Professor Preston discusses some underlying issues which churches need to face if they are to contribute more adequately to resolving the tensions in advanced industrial societies". -- back cover.

- "The original title of this book was 'Mother Church is Dead and Gone - What do the Children do Now ?' Though unsuitable, it summarized the theme with some accuracy. Mother Church is no longer a central character in the Christian drama, but the Church remains so. With the collapse of its authoritarian structure, many members are seeking new guidelines to replace those which have hitherto been provided only under 'lawful authority'. This book offers a few suggestions as to where those guidelines are being found. .... The following pages simply attempt to describe, as accurately and honestly as I can, some of the patterns of Christianity which I perceive in the present and which I think the future holds. An increasing number of Christians -- to a greater or lesser degree -- no longer accept the traditional creeds, doctrines, liturgies or moral precepts. Yet they consider themselves Christians and hope to be so received; they consider themselves loyal members of their respective denominations and hope to be so received. If this book enables them to feel more confident in their hope -- or if it enables those of a more traditional bent to welcome them -- then it will be justified". -- Preface.
