Ebook: Law, Love and Language

This book has grown out of the Chaplaincy Open Lectures which I was invited to deliver at the University of Kent in Canterbury during the Lent Term of 1968 and I would like to begin by thanking the Vice-Chancellor and the Revd Frank Telfer who with the other chaplains organised the series. I must also thank Professor James Cameron for his hospitality, encouragement and helpful criticism during my visits. I single him out from the many others who made my stay so enjoyable because he let me have the use of his flat. Most of all I want to thank the many students who sat around in that flat until a late hour and explained the various mistakes I had made. I hope they will find this revised and expanded version an improvement.
I have to thank Mr Jonathan Power and the other signatories of the Haslemere Declaration for permission to reproduce an extract from it as an appendix, and similarly to thank the editor of New Blackfriars for permission to reprint Appendix 2. Quotations from scripture, where no other reference is given, are taken from the Jerusalem Bible.
