    This first volume of the 1951–2 Gifford Lectures on Natural Religion and Christian Theology was published in 1953 and followed shortly thereafter by the second volume, Experience and Interpretation. In this volume, Canon Raven presents a rewriting of the history of science in organic and holistic categories, as opposed to the conventional mechanism and determinism.
