“ Dr. Come draws his material from many sources. He is aware of contemporary philosophical trends; he is fully conscious of recent theological developments, and he takes account of what Biblical and historical studies contribute to the subject. He draws fruitfully on Calvin, Kierkegaard, and Barth. He shows that man’s nature cannot be understood in terms of the antiquated antithesis of body-soul. Man’s life is a unity, and its character becomes apparent only when we grasp the central significance of ‘ spirit.’ Man’s spirit becomes intelligible when we appreciate the fundamental relationship in which he finds his self-fulfillment. Only in his contact with the divine Spirit does man’s potentiality become actual. The bearing of this on the meaning both of human nature and of divine Spirit is obvious. The treatment is painstaking and thorough. It requires careful reading; it repays it.” — Pulpit Digest.
