About the book from the Prologue: ONCE upon a time, the story goes, a countrymouse was entangled by a town mouse in an argument to prove that there is no God. "But, dash itall."said the country mouse,"there must be asort of a something." Quite apart from the Bible,great thinkers like Aristotle reached the belief ina great Unseen Reality to which could be giventhe name God. The question, however, whether,and (if so) how, we can derive from the Bible aknowledge of the character and will of God moredefinite and more profound than the human intellect unaided has so far been able to attain is ofthe first importance; for otherwise the word God is likely to degenerate into a name given to a"sortof a something", a vast vagueness for somemerely awful, for others benevolent but too hazyto affect practically the conduct of everyday life. The exploration of the intellectual basis of religion- with special reference to the existence ofGod, the relation of religion and science, and theproblems of pain and immortality- has sinceundergraduate days been a main preoccupationof my own mind.?
