First published in 1953, these Hulsean Lectures inquire 'what has been, and what should be, the attitude of the Church and of individual Christians towards religions other than their own' and review the policy and methods of Christian missions to non-Christians. Dr Dewick has adopted a definition of 'religion' sufficiently wide to cover the challenging political-philosophical systems - such as Communism, Fascism and Nationalism - which, though professedly non-religious or even anti-religious, display many of the characteristics of religion; and he shows clearly what principles should underlie the Christian attitude to such pseudo-religions. Dr Dewick spent many years as a missionary in India and Ceylon, and writes with particular knowledge of Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists. the concluding lectures, on 'The Recovery of First Principles' and 'The Reform of Missionary Policy and Practice', are particularly interesting.
Originally published in 1912, this volume was based upon the Cambridge University Hulsean Prize essay for the year 1908. Revised throughout before publication, the text consists of a detailed exploration of Christian eschatology from its Old Testament origins onward. Written at a time when the eschatological aspects of religion had in many ways been discredited by the rise of scientific rationalism, it also constitutes an attempt to give credence to the position of eschatology as an abiding theological problem. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the development of Christianity and the history of theology.
