Amidst the conflict of opposing forces in these twenty years since the Armistice—social, political, literary, economic—one of the most acutely debated questions emerging from the tumult is, In what faith (if any) can an intelligent man and woman believe? The large popular demand for books on religion and its relation to art, psychology, reality, politics, and ethics, together with frequent written or broadcast pronouncements by responsible religious authorities, leave no doubt about the increased interest in non-material problems. Popular articles appear in the evening papers by deans, bishops, and laymen, and even sporting ‘stars’ appear in print with religious views. Furthermore, we hear the Voice of Under Thirty accompanying Nero amid the wreckage of ideals and faith, whose validity would seem to have died with Queen Victoria.
