'This book is made up of talks given at the 1974 and 1975 Lindisfarne conferences....the task of relating the emerging themes to each other became progressively more difficult....In the end came the recognition of a process of change so pervasive that one could see beyond opposing views and catch a glimpse of a new historical horizon.'
