Extract
Elsewhere in this issue the reader will find several references to the need for the symbol in human and Christian life. The emphasis is nothing new to this review, which has for some years past pointed to the central place of the signs evoked naturally by man so as to bind him at once to the universe of which he is a part and to God of whom he is a dependant. The signs have been made into vehicles of grace by the Incarnation—the unique and central sign—with the result that the Bible, the Liturgy and all the sacraments are unifying, integrating and health-giving (i-e. salutary) in a physical, psychological and spiritual manner all at once. In this way the sciences of archaeology, anthropology, comparative religions and many others can serve to broaden and deepen the life of the spirit so long as the student clings firmly in faith to the fact of the Word made flesh.
