| Summary: | Friedrichs contends that the détente existing between theology and the sciences of man over the past two to three generations is no longer operative. B. F.

But despite these signs, the irrevocable link between the theological community and its focus upon ultimate concern" and a social and behavioral science that cannot avoid recourse to ethical norms must be reinforced. For if these voices and talents were stilled within those associations and journals focusing on the scientific study of religion itself, there would be little hope of their expression elsewhere. |
