- This "present book is intended as a response by people speaking from their experience within the Judaeo-Christian tradition, to a liberal humanist and his view of the Church. It is a discussion of questions raised by Pierre Berton, not a point by point reply to him. It is intended for anyone interested in the issues involved in the dialogue between Christianity and humanism, not for people who happen to have read 'The Comfortable Pew' and want to see it refuted" -- Intro., p. [ix-x].
