First published in 1921, this title examines the relationship
between what the author labels the 'rationalist' element in Western
culture on the one hand, derived from the ancient Greeks, and
Christianity, on the other. Bevan contends that these two
traditions are distinct, but not mutually exclusive, and that to
understand fully their mutuality and reciprocity it is necessary to
examine the distinct history of both: their individual provenances,
their fusion and interpenetration, and also, their future together.
The first chapter attempts to indicate the significance of Hellenic
culture in its relation to Eastern civilisation. The extinction of
Paganism at the time of Augustine is examined, as is a selection of
moral issues associated with the Christian life, as that is
interpreted by the author. Finally, the notion of 'progress' is
investigated with specific reference to the position of
Christianity in the modern world.
