Inscribed by the author to The Bishop of Durham [Michael Ramsey?], with gratitude and affection, on March 3, 1952. Garbett, as Bishop of York, officiated at the ceremony at which Ramsey became the Bishop of Durham. Cyril Forster Garbett GCVO (6 February 1875 – 31 December 1955) was an Anglican bishop and author. He was successively the Bishop of Southwark, the Bishop of Winchester and the Archbishop of York from 1942 to 1955. Garbett sat in the House of Lords for many years as a Lord Spiritual and, as an erastian, he took his duties very seriously. In a notable statement made to the House of Lords in 1942, Garbett denounced Nazi Germany's extermination of Polish Jews, calling it "the deliberate and cold-blooded massacre of a nation." This book has been written in the conviction that mankind is now in the midst of one of the greatest crises in history. It is due to three causes: The rejection of Christian faith and morals, an uncompromising attack on Western civilization, and the violent social and economic upheavals both in the West and the East. The gravity of the crisis has been intensified by the invention of atomic and other deadly weapons which, used in war, would destroy a great part of the civilized world. Civilized man stands today in dire danger, for he is on the verge of a preceipice over which he may plunge into ruin from which there may be no recovery. Condition: Good / Fair.
