A collection of articles and essays by the former Bishop of Durham exploring his approach to philosophy and theology and the relationship between them.
Divided into three parts, this volume contains Ian Ramsey’s most relevant essays on philosophy, metaphysics and ontology, the meaning and understanding of the gospels, and the justification of faith. An extensive appendix includes the author’s answers to the contemporary subjects of freedom and immortality, Christian education and the intellectual crisis, and they are complimented by a selected bibliography.
