Abstract

The lectures that form the basis of this volume were the inaugural series of St. Thomas More Lectures, given at Yale in 1962. Murray treats the Biblical problem of the presence of God and the contemporary problem of the death of God. Though not detailed, the lectures are far-reaching in scope and raise in captivating manner the question of the meaning of the contemporary religious situation, challenging the reader to rethink for himself the problem involved in adequately interpreting this situation.—S.
