Most of the essays in this collection have never been published in England before. They reflect three main concerns: philosophical issues in theology, the contribution to theology made by Marxist-Leninist thought, and ethical reflections. Titles include The Future of Man, Lenin and Theology, Absolute and Relative History, Finality in Ethics, Tillich, Frege, Kittel: Some Reflections on a Dark Theme, Parable and Sacrament, and Tragedy and Ethics.
