Abstract
THE central problem of this timely book is to determine how far speculation along the lines suggested by contemporary scientific writers is legitimate within the limits of theological orthodoxy. Though primarily addressed to Catholics, the book is certain of interesting a much wider circle of readers. The author, assuming the attitude of a man-in-the-street, develops his points with wit and persuasion. The new physics, the position of miracles and the new psychologies are submitted in turn to a pertinent criticism, with the result that several misconceptions on both sides are cleared away and placed in their correct setting. As Prof. Temple, who contributes a foreword to this work, puts it, there is no antagonism or contradiction between faith and science, but merely between scientific opinion and theological opinion.
