- "This book has been written in the conviction that mankind is now in the midst of one of the greatest crises in history. It is due to three causes: the rejection of Christian faith and morals, an uncompromising attack on Western civilisation, and the violent social and economic upheavals both in the West and the East. The gravity of the crisis has been intensified by the invention of atomic and other deadly weapons which, used in war, would destroy a great part of the civilised world. Civilised man stands today in dire danger, for he is on the verge of a precipice over which he may plunge into ruin from which there might be no recovery. .... An attempt is made in this book to give the Christian explanation of the world crisis, to show the reason for the failure of substitutes offered for Christianity, and to indicate the answer which the Church gives to man's most fundamental and spiritual needs. .... There is some ambiguity over my use of the word 'Church'. Sometimes it is intended to refer to the whole Church throughout the world, but more frequently it is used of the Church of England; for this one of three books, of which two have been already published, the first on 'The Claims of the Church of England', the second on 'Church and State', and this concluding volume is concerned with the attitude of the Church of England towards movements and problems outside its own borders". -- Intro.
