| Résumé : |
Many thoughtful people, watching the confusion in the churches and the ever-increasing secularisation of society, are asking whether Christianity will make a come-back in the closing third of the twentieth century.
The authors of The New Morality - Sir Arnold Lunn, a Catholic, and Garth Lean, an Anglican - examine today’s world and show that the Victorian atheists who believed that the Christian code would survive the abandonment of the Christian creed have been proved wrong by events. They describe how the erosion of that code is producing a violent and callous society and show that a revival of faith is necessary if civilisation is to survive. If, as secularists maintain, science had disproved the God hypothesis or Christianity had been shown to be untrue, such a comeback would be impossible. Sir Arnold Lunn, in two signed chapters, states why he considers these objections to be irrational, and in a third describes how, as a result of his debates and controversial correspondence, people as unlikely as the late Professor Joad and the Communist Louis Budenz were helped to Christian belief. Garth Lean outlines an experimental approach to faith which has led thousands to an experience of Christian reality and gives evidence of how a Christian revolution could yet transform society. They conclude that if Christians will break with the social snobbery which makes them cowards before the current intellectual fashions, a vigorous counter-attack can now be launched. The book is written with the “irony, wit and considerable debating skill” which The Sunday Times noted in their first joint book. |
