About This Item
London: Faber & Faber, 1952. 1st. h/b. Very good, 1st edition, unclipped d/j (in protective sleeve); orange clothbound boards, giltspine titling; text block firm, pages crisp and unmarked (some browning).. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). From the dustjacket: Joad is not a sentimental preacher, exhorting us to 'return to religion'. He is a thinker, a philosopher, who has found himself slowly compelled by his reason to concede the unique claim of the Christian religion. He has set out to tell us what has happened in his own mind, and can equally happen in the minds of others, to bring about this result... He tells us, very clearly, why and how he has come to this definite belief, after a lifetime of free philsosophical speculation. He seeks to make clear its philosphical foundation in a God who is both transcendent and immanent and to show the inadequecy of contemporary alternative creeds.
