Extract

The Aquinas Lecture given at Blackfriars, Oxford, on 29 January 1991.

When I was a student in Cambridge forty-odd years ago a Capuchin friar said to me, ‘God is on the surface of things’. I want to talk about that, and about how it gets obscured by the abstractions of science on the one hand and the make-believe of religion on the other.
