註釋The author describes his theme as 'the clash between traditional Christian ways of thinking and understanding faith, and modern secular styles.' His aim is 'to understand the reality of our secular world.' His general approach, as the sub-title indicates, is 'anthropological', that is, by way of phenomena of man's own experience. And the general intention of the work is to analyse the way in which the life of Christian faith is truly free. Within this framework the author has provided a series of studies, with particular attention such themes as 'post-Renaissance Man', 'Humanism and the Chruch in Deadlock', 'Transcendence', and 'the Crisis about God'. The main argument of an earlier book, The New Man, long out of print, has been presented in three chapters of this work, and other more recent essays and papers have been drawn upon In this way both the background to the author's well-known book Secular Christianity, and his developing ideas on the same themes, have been provided. This book should be a help in clarifying some of the exciting issues raised by the new theology, of which Professor Gregor Smith is one of the leading exponents in Britain. -Publisher
