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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAbbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
