Paperback. First edition (no additional printings listed) . Original covers, 6 3/4 x 9 1/2 inches, bibliography, annotated, 86 pp. Paperback, near fine. Spine and margins tanned, 1/4 inch deep light tan stain on upper corner, lightly age yellowed, faint whiff of tobacco, otherwise tight, clean, paper crisp, unmarked and apparently never read. Consists of three chapters from the author's manuscript thesis submitted to the University, in which he examines Mircea Eliade's conlusions regarding the use of myth and mythical language in primitive and archaic religious societies, the disguised religious character of Harvey Cox's secular thought, and the comparisons between his theology of secularization and Eliade's analysis of primitive religious patterns, and how it all relates to Cox's Neo-orthodox concept of revelation, with the conclusion that his apolgetic of Christian secularity bears an inherent inconsistency.
