- "[By] The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Michael Ramsey".
- At head of title: "Larkin-Stuart Lectures, Trinity College, October 1971".
- Text of three lectures delivered October 1971.
- "It goes without saying that we are living in a time of bewilderment. In a world that is bewildered about the direction in which it is going we who are Christians profess to have the answer. But we can fail the world in two ways. We can become too bewildered ourselves to present the answer with conviction. Or we can be complacent about our faith through a false religious security. But Christian faith is properly neither easy nor secure, it is a hazardous adventure. In these three lectures I ask you to think about its meaning in relation to three contemporary questionings. .... I take as my starting-point tonight another question: the credibility of the biblical faith in one God, creator, sovereign and righteous, in face of the heart-breaking phenomenon of suffering in the world". -- Lecture I, leaf [1]. "Let me now try to recapitulate. In the first lecture we saw how God's creation of the world is as yet incomplete, how our human race which has done so much to wreck God's creation by our sin is offered freedom so as to share God's sons in his own creative work. Then, in the second lecture we looked at the history of Jesus and saw how his death and resurrection are both the key to his mission then and the secret of his relevance today. Now tonight we have tried to see how in Christ religion has its validity and its true understanding". -- Lecture III, l. 18.

- Notes
- A review of Part one of this "two-part documentary [which] seeks to amplify the psychological significance of Christianity, as well as to broaden the perception of the sacred in our lives. Using interviews with a wide range of people, `Dry Bones' presents an insightful and moving portrait of our changing society". The reviewer comments "In my past working life at the Anglican Journal, Canada's national Anglican newspaper, I've read and heard a lot about the need for the church to change or die. However, I haven't witnessed as eloquent a response by Christian people as to why that is, and what we could do, or what the church could become in order to speak to the world today and in this 21st century".

- "In a world torn by ideology, the Christian faith promises a journey toward wholeness. Yet the church has often confused ideology with faith and reduced its rich tradition to moralizing and stagnant custom. The author suggests positive and practical solutions to the many pressing questions raised by the confrontation between contemporary culture and church tradition. He writes for those who have difficulty in believing and for those who wish to grow in faith. This book is intended both for individual readers and for groups of people willing to explore together". -- back cover.

- "The following chapters are a somewhat expanded version of the Warfield lectures given at Princeton Theological Seminary in March 1984. .... At the time I received the invitation I had recently written a small pamphlet entitled, 'The Other Side of 1984', and invitation to the British churches to a more forthright missionary encounter with contemporary British culture, and was much occupied with the resulting discussion. I therefore decided to use this invitation as an opportunity to develop more fully the message of that booklet. This book is the result". -- Preface.
