In reviewing Dr Radhakrishnan’s book, William Stoddard points out that the author is himself enmeshed in modernism and yet is perplexed that tradition is relegated to the background - unaware that this is caused by abandoning the truths within the tradition. The reviewer reminds us that ‘Christ prophesied: "Scandal there must be," and added the implacable warning: "and woe to him through whom the scandal cometh!” Stoddard concludes ‘In an age of tireless but unblessed technology one of religion's most important roles is to remind those willing to listen of this fatally neglected truth.’
