Description:[from the cover] Thousands of people stopped in the rush of New York's financial district during Advent recently to listen to the Gospel of Jesus Christ at historic Trinity Church. They came because their imagination was caught, and held, by the revival of a practice seldom seen since the Middle Ages: the dialogue method of preaching.For the modern dialogues, the speakers chose a subject as unusual in today's preaching as their technique--the great themes of the Last Things: the end of the world, death, judgment, Heaven and Hell. The "devil's advocate" was replaced by the inquiring layman who, bewildered and uncertain as to what many teachings of the Church really are, asked questions that occur to every Christian in twentieth century: How can the New Testament belief in the imminent "end of the world" have any meaning for us today? Are we mistaken in believing in personal immortality? Isn't the ideal of Hell incompatible with God's love? Is there a real sense in which we can talk about the Kingdom of God here on earth? What is eternal life?Now, in book form, the compelling vitality of these dialogues will transfix the reader's attention as the argument passes between two brilliant and agile minds with dramatic intensity. Dialogue on Destiny presents in a clear, forthright, engrossing style informed answer to basic questions. For the layman, it has important things to say about our eternal destiny. For the clergy, it introduces a unique method of preaching and teaching the faith.The Rev. George West Barrett was rector of St. James Parish, Los Angeles, before he became Eugene Augustus Hoffman Professor of Pastoral Theology at the General Theological Seminary. During his ministry in California, he played a leading role in diocesan activities, and he is now well known in the East as preacher and lecturer.The Rev. J. V. Langmead Casserley is Mary Cooke Hoffman Professor of Dogmatic Theology at the General Theological Seminary. Since coming to this country from England in 1952, he has lectured at major divinity schools and was a member of the Commission of Twenty-five to arrange the Second Assembly of the World Council of Churches.
