- Notes
- "[B]y David L. Edwards, Fellow and Dean of King's College, Cambridge".
- "In this book I try to consider the challenges to religion which have resulted from changes in the twentieth century. These changes have, I think, made our time the secular century, in a sense which is without precedent in history." This book is an attempt "to survey both the social and the intellectual forces in world-wide twentieth century religion, and to assess them, in one book. .... The chapters [in this book] were delivered in an abbreviated form as eight Hulsean Lectures in the University of Cambridge in the Michaelmas Term, 1967."-- Preface, p. 9, 11.
