| Summary: | Archbishop William Temple (1881-1944) wrote this article in March 1939 as war was looming. The pacifist movement was strong among younger Christians, and young and old were extremely worried about the rise of fascism. Appeasement or a radical rejection of war were often seen as the Christian options. Temple dissents from both and also from the certainties of (Thomist) natural law theology. His approach is more tentative and based on ‘events’, insisting that ‘[w]e must dig the foundations deeper than we did in pre-war years, or in the inter-war years’. He was the son of Frederick Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury (1896-1902), and was successively Bishop of Manchester (1921-29), Archbishop of York (1929-42) and himself Archbishop of Canterbury (1942-44). His Gifford Lectures, Nature, Man and God (1934), Readings in St John’s Gospel (1939) and Christianity and the Social Order (1942) are among his best known writings. |
