Summary
"Dr. Gilkey discusses how science has changed our attitudes toward religious statements and the traditional sources of Christian belief. The most important change in the last two centuries, he believes, lies in the crucial shift from the belief that religious truths are made up of statemnts of fact to the understanding of religious truth as a system of symbols."--Jacket.
