PREFACE TO THE FONTANA EDITION

In 1954 I was invited to give the McNair lectures at Chapel
Hill in the University of North Carolina. The chapters of
this present book represent the substance of what I said in
those lectures. It was with some hesitation that I gave the
lectures then, and it is with some hesitation now that I send
this little book out to a wider public. For I have all too little
competence to speak of the relationship between two such
comprehensive beliefs as a man's science and his religion. But
someone must speak, if only to assert that our science and our
religion need not be at loggerheads; and that each can help
the other to an enrichment of human life. Perhaps in a
scientific age a professional scientist such as I am myself may
sometimes be able to do this more effectively than someone
with a different background. This must, I think, have been
in the minds of the Committee of the McNair Fund when they
invited me to give these lectures in the first place.
It would not be right to send this little volume out into the
world without a few words of acknowledgment-first, to the
Committee that invited me; next, to those who came to the
Iectures; and lastly, to all those many friends, remembered or
forgotten, whose words and thoughts have helped me to
formulate my own, and who should really receive any credit
that may be due. My debt to them is, for me, a continual
reminder of the true life of the Christian Church, and of that
so often misunderstood 'communion of the Saints'.
In developing my general theme it has seemed necessary,
for the sake of continuity and completeness, to repeat a part
of the argument (though not of course the actual words) that
I used in my Riddell lectures Christianity in an Age of Science at
Durham in I1953. I hope that I may be pardoned for this
small amount of overlapping.
