The author here attempts to dispel the intellectual fog that often dims the Christian's view of Christ. He recognises that it is good for an individual to move now and then intellectually and spiritually, but he cautions against discarding such things as religious faith, human service, political stability, and economic security. He offers a satisfying philosophy of life for individuals and groups.

Bentley Glass, one of the world's leading investigators in the field of human genetics, is concerned with the moral absolutes and ethics involved in experimentation with human life in the laboratory. He feels that with the development of knowledge must come wider recognition of consequences. His book indicates that we are responsible for all living things.
