The Importance of Being Human: Some Aspects of the Christian Doctrine of Man (Bampton Lectures in America)
by E. L. Mascall"Whatever judgement may be passed on the manner of its treatment, it will hardly be denied that the subject which I have chosen for this book--man, his nature, his end, his predicament, his resources--is of peculiar relevance at the present day, when the human race is confronted simultaneously with greater possibilities of material achievement and with greater dangers to its very existence than at any other time in its recorded history. A note of irony is added by the fact that Christian theologians themselves are far from agreement upon the basic issues, though it is to be hoped that sympathetic discussion may reveal their divergences to be less than they have sometimes thought them to be. Indeed, I am not without hope that the present book, which was originally delivered as the Bampton Lectures for 1958 at Columbia University in the City of New York, may contribute in some degree to this much to be desired rapprochement. The situation being what it is, however, it may be well to make it plain at the outset that the standpoint from which the subject is discussed is that of a Catholic theologian of the Anglican allegiance."

Dharmanirpekshata Navhe Ihvad: धर्मनिरपेक्षता नव्हे, इहवाद
by Mahadev Shankar Dholeमानवेंद्रनाथ रॉय यांच्या विचारसरणीने प्रभावित झालेल्या श्री. महादेव शंकर ढोले यांनी आपल्या पुस्तकास “धर्मनिरपेक्षता नव्हे, इहवाद” असे शीर्षक देऊन या वादातील आपली भूमिका स्पष्ट केली आहे. सर्वंकष स्वरूपाच्या धर्माचा जबरदस्त पगडा असलेल्या भारतासारख्या देशातील समाजात इहवादी शासनाची निर्मिती करणे हे अत्यंत कठिण असले तरी अशक्य नाही असे घटनेच्या शिल्पकारांना वाटत होते. भारताची घटना अस्तित्वात आली त्यालाही चाळीस वर्षाहून अधिक काळ लोटला आहे. तरीही येथील शासन अधिकाअधिक इहवादी होण्याऐवजी सर्वधर्मसमभावाचे कातडे पांघरुन धर्माधिष्ठीत चळवळी धुमाकूळ घालीत असल्याचे विपरीत दृश्य दिसत आहे. अशा परिस्थितीत पाश्चिमात्य देशातील तसेच आधुनिक भारतातील विचारवंतांच्या इहवादाबद्दलच्या चिंतनाचा मागोवा घेत विश्लेषण करण्याचा श्री. ढोले यांनी प्रयत्न केला आहे.
